moominmollyN: "Mommy's pumpkin has a YEEF on it!"
A moment later: "Natalie eat a yeef?" I let her munch on the lid a little, and it turns out the girl likes the taste of raw pumpkin. Further, it turns out that raw pumpkin really isn't as bad as you might expect.
Waking up from a nap, today, she was crying a bit more than I'd have expected her to. When I picked her up, she wailed, "MOMMY'S BAG!"
"My bag?"
"Yes."
"...did you have a dream?"
"Yeah."
"What was it about?"
"Rory eating a bag! NOT food bag. ...Probably upstairs."
I reassured her that it was just a dream, that Rory hadn't really eaten my bag. When we went upstairs and Rory was there, she looked at him and repeated, "probably upstairs!" as if delighted to see her dream realized, except for that traumatic bag-eating part.
Also! She's now able to tell me what she's thinking about. If she looks all thoughtful, I can ask her, "Natalie, what are you thinking about?" and she HAS AN ANSWER. Earlier today, D and I were in the kitchen, and Natalie ran and excitedly told us "NATALIE THINKING ABOUT [PAPER TOWELS]!" (except I can't remember what totally mundane thing she reported). I'm really enjoying this era of her being able to answer open-ended questions. Though, sometimes, it's still hard for her to use a word other than "that! *POINT*" to describe something she can see.
Finally, she's starting in with some overregularization ("drawed" from "drew", "shoeses", etc) which I am afraid I find painfully cute. SO CUTE! Cute.

Date: 2007-10-29 12:35 pm (UTC)I saw a pretty fantastic one of a tree last night, too. Next to it was a pumpkin that no one could figure out what the carving was. It turned out to be a vampire biting a woman's neck, which was totally awesome once it was pointed out to me what it was, but definitely not as awesome as the tree (or your leaf!) since it needed the pointing out.
