As you might know, both of the girls are very vocal. At 2, they have a pretty good handle of the English language. We have been having a few problems with some particular phrases. The first is Elle saying "leave me alone". She says this when she wants to be by herself playing, in the bathroom, or right before bed to her sister. We have tried to encourage a modification of the phrase to "please leave me alone, mommy, or sister, or whoever". It has been fairly successful. Emma's favorite word lately has been NO! She says it loud and proud and with her lips puckered a bit. On Tuesday, we were riding home from Daycare and Elle was saying NO! over and over again for some unknown reason and Emma popped off "you don't tell me NO!" multiple times. Good thing I was pulled over to get the mail, because I might have wrecked the car. I heard my voice come out of Emma's mouth. I now wonder what they say at daycare! Anyway Emma has figured out her own modification for NO! it is now "please don't" in a softer kinder voice, and she has noticed a different reaction from her roommates. I love it that she did that on her own. I hope it sticks!
