Last night, while taking a few minutes to read through old blogs from the past few months, I came across a post about Lydia's 18-month well-visit. I wrote that she maybe had 15 words. Well, a lot has changed in a month! She definitely went through a little language explosion that is typical at her age. I haven't tried to count, but I would guess that she has at least 50 words. Yesterday, I think she even said a couple of two-word phrases - "Mama go" and "Silas up." One of the more interesting things she has picked up is "why?" She has no idea what that word or question means, but she has figured out that the boys often say it when we tell them something they can't do or something non-preferred. So, these have been some exchanges lately:
Lydia: "Shine" (requesting to listen to Go Fish's album Shine)
Me: "No, we are listening to something else right now."
Lydia: "Why?"
Lydia: (pointing outside) "Outside?"
Me: "It is naptime, but we will go out after naps."
Lydia: "Why?"
Lydia: "Shoes?"
Me: "Put your shoes in the closet."
Lydia: "Why?"
