Teya has really been talking a lot lately, and it's a lot of fun to get a peek into her world just by the way she describes things. Something I've really gotten a kick out of is the way she tells you if something is big, medium, or small. Big things are "daddy" medium things are "mommy" and small things are "baby." So today we were playing with play-doh and we were rolling it into balls and the first ball I made was really small so of course she said, "baby!" Then she ripped off a bigger piece and handed it to me and said, "I wan mommy" Meaning, "make me a mommy size ball" So I made her a mommy ball and then just to see if what she would say, I made an even bigger ball and sure enough, when I finished she pronounced it, "daddy!" I'm trying to teach her the real words to talk about sizes, but in the mean time I guess I'm just glad she doesn't call the biggest one "Mommy" : )

That is so cute- I think she is quite smart to describe sizes in that way! By the way- thanks for your help with my winter time blues- I am going to look for that book and look into Kangaroo Zoo!
That's so funny that she came up with that little system! I'm always surprised at the unique things that kids come up with all on their own.
At least she has the order right - I'm afraid my kids would have Mommy mean the biggest size. They love to comment on my "huge" stomach, even though I like to pretend I'm not showing yet.
She is at such a FUN age! How adorable! Very smart little girl!
