speech
I'm starting to notice that Ally copies A LOT of what I say. and some of Rob too. When you ask her a question, most of the time the answer is "Um.... Not yet" I know I say that to her all the time. Like when she says "It's story time mommy" I have to answer with "Not yet. First you have to pick up your toys/eat your dinner/get dressed/etc" I have noticed that "sure it is" comes out of her mouth a lot lately, and I know that one came from Rob.

One of her favorite conversation topics is to compare what she's doing to everybody else. "ally has water. just like Daddy. just like mommy. Ally has socks on. just like daddy..........." (On a kind of related note, but not really, but it was so funny that I really wanted to share it, but forgot until just now when I was thinking about comparing things - When I told Ally that Daddy was bringing her home a present the day he was bringing Sandy home, she said "just like Grandma?" Yuo think she's spoiled much?)

She strings together concepts that I'm not sure are her age level. I think she's ahead of the curve in the language department (not that I'm biased or anything, because her teachers even think so). Which is good, because she's a little behind in the coordination department. She keeps forgetting to watch where she puts her feet, and falls over. She just gets distracted by something as she's trying to sit at her picnic table and sits before her feet are where they belong, then falls over and has to tell us how she hurt her head.

Anyway...I'm glad we got her ear tubes put in last year. They seem to have made a world of difference.
