A Little More From Mattaya...

Mattaya is gaining a sense of time. Her use of the word "doo-my-oh" (tomorrow) reflects that. And she's coming to associate certain activities with specific days of the week. She knows that big events like swimming or the zoo need to wait for a "Satuhday" and that she needs to "ack Daddy". She knows that if I tell her it's Sunday, we "go chuch, restwaunt, gamma's house". And hearing that it's Tuesday, she will often declare, "Kate Addy come playthoo" (Kate and Addy will come play with you.) It is just too funny to greet her every morning! I used to walk in and tell her what day it was and what we were going to do. Now I walk in, and she tries to convince me that it's Saturday, that she's going to the commissary with Daddy to buy donuts AND go to the zoo AND go swimming at the Y. :)

She's definitely trying to say more and more words, and her utterances are getting longer. Yesterday, she made up her own word. She was sitting on the potty first thing in the morning, holding her hippo and Makenna's giraffe, telling them such sweet things. Then she looked up at me and said, "Mommy, Hippo is cute-iful!" Like cute+beautiful. :) This is such a fun age!
