Just a bit of typical kid humor.

Hi all,

Just had to share...especially since there has been so much talk

about language, sentences etc. I too have worked constantly at this

since Sydney was born, however, I think that now that she is in pre

school, with other children, I see that her language is excellerating

rapidly..especially sentence stucture...

so here is the scenario:

Zach, my 20 year old, who adores Syd, but also adores his time to do

what he wants, came home from work, hung out with Syd briefly...about

ten minutes, then said he had to go. She of course

protested...saying " No Zach, don't go! " after all it was only ten

minutes!. As he went down the stairs, I told her she could not go

with him, that he was leaving and she had to reamain behind. She

then blurted out... " It's not fair! " ..then went into the bedroom and

slammed the door!.

I was of course delighted. It was a perfect sentence, it was

appropriate to the situation, and it showed a clear and assertive

display of emotion. All I could think was ..she is exactly like my

older daughter was at that age who is now 22..kids are kids are

kids...and because I am always watching for

developmental " stuff " ..this was a big deal! )!! She recovered from

her disappointment quickly and just started to do her own thing.

Just had to share..
