The Georgous

And to prove that her vocabulary continues to expand exponentially, Georgia has now decided to ‘invent’ words….

Sticker-ing – to stick stickers
Up-ping – to get up “I’m not upping like that” on to the bed

…and while these words are neither technically nor gramatically incorrect in tehir contextual use – how do I explain to my two-year old – that ‘stickering’ is not a word.

Do you know how to sing it?

Row, row, row the boat

Gently down the river

If you see a polar bear

Don’t forget to shiver

 

Row, row, row the boat

Gently in the bath

If you see a spider

Don’t forget to laugh  

Georgia has started to get the hang of questioning and sometimes it can feel like a constant interogation.

At a visit to the Mall (@ Cribbs Causeway) on Saturday we sat next to a mummy and baby pair in the food court, soon enough the questions started.

G: What’s the mummy doing?
Me: Feeding the baby.
G: What’s the baby doing?
Me: Eating
G: What’s the baby eating?
Me: A sandwich
…and then it starts again…
G: What’s the mummy doing?

Me: ???

Georgia has learnt to count, perhaps more accurately it should be said, Georgia has learnt to recite numbers from One ’til Eleven; well, why stop at ten??

She does do counting, I am inclined to believe that she does understand that reciting numbers do represent assigning numbers. Just the other day, she was excited over a couple of babies who followed us in to the Cardiff Toys ‘R Us store, and she counted…

“One baby….two babies”

I was so so so impressed today – I’ve been trying to potty train Georgia ‘properly’Given it’s warm here and her wetting her pants isn’t too much of an issue here – so she’s been out of nappies

In the day time – and when we’re out I try not to put her in nappies so her car seat is lined with an old towel so it doesn’t get wet incase of an accident.

Although she had a nappy on most of the mornign while we were shopping at Gurney Plaza, she stayed dry – and I only found out a lunch time (at A&W) when she asked for Baby’s potty…at which point i took her to the nearest ladies loo and found a dry nappy.

So hopefully if we can keep this up and it works well — we won’t have to buy nappies any more!!! YIPPEE! 

As of the week starting  18 November, Georgia has started stating her demands in sentences — 3-5 word long sentences.

Georgia’s word for water:

Te-war

O-pee ….. Coes

Open Close what a good game

A rustling of leaves distracted us momentarily; 

We were both busy potting and re-potting the house plants.

We looked up and who did we see,

Mr ‘Edge-hog’ making his way slowly to Georgie…

Georgia says “TOUCH!”

The Battle of Wills has begun.
