Everyday becomes more and more fun to carry on a conversation with Audrey. She is repeating most things directed toward her, and she is becoming more and more clear to understand. She loves being able to make decisions on her own, and of course to be offered choices. Granted, she mostly says No, and I have to hide my smirk when she says No to herself (!), but she is saying many other things as well. We had a particularly endearing conversation before bed last night. Not sure what all it included, but mostly it was about her day. She said Yes! when I asked if she had gone outside, and she lit up when I went thru listing all the kids in her class, and asked if she was friends with each of them. She shook her head Yes! so vigorously that she bonked me in the head when I asked if she was friends with Callen. I always ask her if she knows that mommy loves her lots and lots and lots, and usually she just smiles. Now, she says, I know, or Yes! The highlight was when she said I love you, and signed it, too. Turned me into a teary-eyed mess. Eric came in her room, having mowed the entire lawn during the time we were still reading and talking, wondering what was taking us so long. He sees me crying, Audrey giddy and happy, and says, "What, is it because she's getting so big?" Yes!
Say I love you to daddy too, and I bet he'll let you stay up later as well!
