Helping throw something in the garbage
I'm really trying to talk a lot lately. I babble all the time. I always know what I want, but I'm too little to get it myself and I usually don't know how to say it. So this results in quite a bit of whining. There's nothing that makes me sadder than when Mommy tells me to "Shhhh." I just wish that I could talk and am sad that I can't yet. I understand what everyone else is saying. I'm great at following directions, like when you ask me to throw something in the garbage or get my shoes. And if you can figure out what I want, I always say, "Yeah" and nod my head. Basically, I know lots of things that I want to say, I just can't actually make my mouth say them. I sing my "Sounds Like Fun" alphabet song to practice making sounds. My favorite sounds are still "Bbb" and "Ddd". Now I say "Daddy" perfectly and love to say "Hi Daddy" when he comes upstairs from working.
Another thing I can do well is spit! I'm always told not to spit except when I brush my teeth. So when it comes time to brush my teeth, all I want to do is spit! I keep leaning over the sink while I wait for enough drool to accumulate. Then I spit it in the sink! I'm a very talented spitter with perfect aim!
