Since Niva hit the 18 month mark, she has been quite the chatterbox. And in addition to an explosion in her vocabulary, I have learned that she has a great memory too! Below are a few examples to illustrate her sharp memory:
- We have played with chalk outside twice in Niva's life. The first time was a couple of months ago and I drew her a cat, a dog, and hopscotch. When I proposed that we play with chalk again last week, Niva immediately requested: "Meow meow" (cat), "goggie" (dog), and "hop hop" (you get it)....how did she remember this from so long ago?
- Last week, we went to the Wildflower Center where Niva discovered that it was so fun to throw pebbles in the pond. I told her that was not okay because the "fish were taking a nap." Now every time I refer to the Wildflower Center, she says, "Fish nigh nigh...pah (pond)". This little image must have made quite an impact on her!
- Today, we went to feed the ducks. Niva pointed at a birdhouse and said, "buh...ha". I mentioned this birdhouse to her only once a couple of weeks ago...geez kid, do you forget anything??
It seems that I've got quite the little elephant on my hands. It is becoming more and more obvious that I better check myself before I make any false moves!
