New Words

For a while now Natasha has been saying words yet she hardly ever repeats them. I keep telling Owen that she learns/says a couple of new words a week but because when he asks her to say that word and she doesn't, he never believes me. In recent weeks though, she's started to repeat a few when you ask her - "Dug" [dog], "Ball", and Bubbles. Her vocabulary is actually getting quite big, she just choses not to share her knowledge with others, especially her dad. It was the same with signing. She's sign for me but not for him.

Today was mission organization. I wanted to get under the stairs cleaned out and finally organize the storage closet that is off the playroom. Of course today was the day that Tash wanted to be right under my feet so it was slow going. At one point she was right in my way, there was not way around her and I was lugging a heavy box so I said "Tash please move for mommy". She stands there staring up at me. So I said again "Tasha please move" again she just stands there. The box is getting heavier by the minute so I nudged her with my foot and go "Tash move now please!" and what does the little bugger do? She stands there looking up at me and goes "Move! Move! Move! Move!" but doesn't move. :p I finally nudged her enough so that I could get by, but it was a bit funny that she learned a new word and repeated it so many times.
