Coco keeps telling people she's going to be as big as daddy. God, I hope not, for her sake. It gives people a good chuckle though. A previous teacher at the JCC told her the other day that she's getting so big and she responds with "that's because I'm growing up." Duh! Where I see the most growth with her is her assertiveness and her use of phrases that actually make sense. She tells people they are annoying her, that they can't talk to her, and "ugggg, that's not what I said!" Of course she also still speaks broken toddler English. She likes shows on Neck-flix, doesn't like the car to go through the "wash cloth," and likes to shop at Lemmings (Wegmans). Things are still "fings" and the yogurt shop, Yotality, is "Nutality" since she likes Nutella. She has lovingly changed some animal names: raccoon to taccoon and at one time a skunk was a snuck. And sometimes her phrases are a little off. She says "You gotta be freakin' me" instead of kidding me. In the future, when she speaks correctly, I will miss all of her Cocoisms. And in that not so distant future, she'll climb aboard the yellow school bus with her "packpack" on her back and head off to Kindergarten.
