Gwendolyn appears to have made quite a leap in her language development these days. Three-word sentences are routine now, and she's correctly using the possessive form and is doing quite a good job with verb tenses to boot. We're astounded at the things that come out of that little mouth. Lately, she's been pointing at things and saying, "That's a [quilt/kite/book/gas meter/truck]."
Kids really are on "record" at all times - Gwendolyn has proven that to us recently. Oh sure, there's been lots of cute, innocuous stuff like saying "how 'bout......" in the same drawn-out way that Mama does as she's choosing the next letter from the letter puzzle, or using another Mama expression, "how's pickins?" as her index finger is up to the first knuckle in her nose. Then things got a little more "interesting." One night during bathtime, Gwendolyn started saying "You basket! You basket!" and Felicity was quite puzzled at first. But Gwendolyn's tone had a rather familiar ring and the realization suddenly dawned: Gwendolyn had heard Kevin tell Felicity that upon hearing that a neighbour had scored a case of delicious wine from Nota Bene winery in the Okanagan, his response was "You bastard!" Little Pitchers certainly DO have Big Ears (expression courtesy of Felicity's Papa). Note to selves - make sure all languge is G-rated! Ooops!
