Tula-isms

Basically just a little list of adorable things you have said in the last month that I actually thought were cute enough to go grab a pen and paper and write them down. You are now putting 4 and five words together, and it makes for some pretty cute sentences. But more importantly, you can now easily communicate with me how you are feeling, if something is bothering you, your basic needs, etc.

"I want to eat"
"Tula bite" (bug bite itching you)
"belly hurt"
"more popcorn please"

...you are so expressive

"oh goodness"

...so independant

"leave me alone" (you mostly say this to Mav when you are playing with a toy he wants or something)
"shut a door. I poop a self" (you now like to go potty by yourself and actually want me to leave and shut the door before you will go)
"Daddy push" or "NO push me" when you are being punished for something...for the record, no, we do not push you. I have no idea where this came from but it's cute

...so kind

"soly baby" (you are so ggod at apologizing to your brother if you step on him or bump into him or whatever. I hear you say this to him lots when you guys are playing together)

...so honest

"I push" (when I come in the room and Mav is crying)

...so dramatic

"gecko" You love to watch geckos from the window in the backyard, but if you are out there without me and see one you come running to the door screaming gecko and want inside immediately.

...such a good big sister.

Yesterday you and Maverick were plying out back and I was watching you while doing the dishes. He was playing on the red car and putting rocks in the gas part of it when he put one in his mouth. I heard you say "No, no, no" (You do say this to him often as well) and then you tried to stick you finger in and scoop it out, I think he had already spit it out but you didnt know so you sort of shook your head and came running to get me.

"Mama, Maverick, rock, choke"

I thought it was so cute that you were worried enough to come and tell me, and it was a pretty legitimate concern too. I assured you he had spit it out and you went back to play time with him and that was it. But I loved that you were looking out for your baby brother like that. You are such a good big sister. Mama loves you!
