Stories
Scenario: She demands something (i.e. milk), we tell her to ask nicely. So she rephrases it to say, "I like some milk peese... Okay!" filling in our normal response.

Scenario: I accidentally got Clara in the nose with my fingernail as we were heading back to the car. We both stop short, turning our full attention to her nose. She grabs it and begins rubbing, with brow furrowed and a befuddled look on her face. I watch her closely, waiting for her reaction before giving one of my own.  After a few moments she looks up at me and says, through a pinched noses, "Mommy? ...didya hurt me?" 

She definitely salvaged the moment with that one. And she was pretty pleased when everyone thought her comment was so funny.

She loves wearing her fancy shoes everywhere.
She counts in Spanish thanks to Dora, and cracks me up when she says "cuako" for 4.
She also likes to say a cheery "Come on, 'Vamenos!'"when she wants to get me moving.

She's doing great with potty training.
