23 months - in conversation

just some of the more memorable ones that struck me the first time she said it because it demonstrates her understanding of various concepts that we may not have taught her explicitly but that she somehow picked up through our daily conversations. 

with some leading questions, i also get some news from her on what happens in school - who got scolded, what they ate, who cried and why. all very fun.

she's getting the concept of this/that - "h play with / read this one, mama play with / read that one"

"h cannot reach because h is small. mama is big can reach."

"papa! don't disturb h! don't do that! don't kiss h! don't touch h's face!" in a very naggy sort of way. 

"h pass shee-shee on the floor then wee willy winky step and fall down. h laugh at wee willy winky."

"mummy take that one, h take this one"

"mummy take this blue one, h take the other blue one" - she's getting the hang of "this" and "that" knowing that "that" tends to refer to the object that is further away. same for "here" and "there".

the "my" and "your" concepts are slowly coming together for her too. "mummy take off my trousers" to mean helping her with her bottoms instead of "mummy take off your trousers". :D

"mummy is not an engineer. mummy don't know how to repair (her toy train). h is an engineer, h can repair"
