Barometer of Emptiness
1 10 2008One of the many little funny conversations we have at the dinner table.
I pour the rest of the water from the pitcher into my glass.
Kaisa: All gah! (all gone)
Me: Thanks. It’s nice to have someone to tell me when things are all gone.
Nathan: Yeah, you’re our little barometer of emptiness!
Kaisa: Yeah!
Shortly after this hilarious moment, we decided to count how many words Kaisa knows. Here’s what we came up with:
Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Hi, Bye-Bye, Yeah, No, More, Please, Thank You, Happy, Pretty, Baby, Puppy, Blankie, Zebra, Bath, Water (Wa-Wa), Kitty, Hair, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth, Eat, Outside, Up, Down, Ashes (sounds like something else!), Let Go, Look, Knock, Sticky, Stuck, Body, Melodie, All Done, All Gone, Go, Stop It, Hot, Push, Shoes, Book, Diaper, O.K., Mine, Shirt, Kaisa, Snack, Beep, Milk, Drink, Juice, Stairs, Yogurt, Cheese, Swimming (Wooshee)
59 words! There are probably more I can’t think of. Keep in mind these are only words that she says voluntarily. She understands and will say a lot more if asked. That also doesn’t include animal sounds. Isn’t she a smartie pants?
Too cute! I finally started a little blog of my own: walkingwithacw.blogspot.com.
Miss you!
I tagged you, please read my blog! Hope you guys are doing good in your new place! Kaisa is a smarty!
I’m impressed! Julia is learning so much. She knows her colors, shapes, how to count, but she still won’t say her name! She calls herself Ju or JJ. So that’s awesome that Kaisa already says her name. Also, congrats on the boy! Looks like you guys are following right behind us :)
