Things what that Amy kid says May 28, 2007
I’ve been trying to update for a week or two; something weird is going on with Wordpress and the server so I was timing out when I tried to log in. Between that and college being at its busiest right now, updating was sort of low priority.
A couple of weeks ago, Amy and I were drawing pictures, by which I mean Amy would shout a word and I would attempt to draw it so she recognised it. She demanded an apple! I drew a passable apple. She called for a banana! so I drew a banana. Out of habit, I wrote each fruit’s name under it.
“A,” said Amy.
“A?” I said stupidly in reply.
“A.” Amy pointed at the a in apple, then the multiple instances in “banana”. “More A,” she squealed.
I wrote As everywhere. Big A, small a, words with A in them, including Amy’s name. She picked them all out. It was cool.
She also has an obsession with junk food. She often shouts for a “lolly!” or “choklit!” and yesterday at the supermarket Mike bought a bottle of chocolate milk and let her have a sip. All the way home, in the back of the car, Amy chanted, “Choooooocolate miiiiiiiilk!” Tonight after dinner and some strawberry yoghurt, I asked Amy if she wanted a bath next.
“No! Choklit milk! Choooooocolate miiiiiiiiiilk!”
