And replaced my baby with some talking, jabbering fool!!! Not to mention a BIG girl!!

Molly TALKED at preschool!! SHE TALKED!! ALL WEEKEND she’s been talking!

Pants, Tights, Dress, Santa (sun), Mommy, Diego climb tree, belly, shirt…just for starters!!

And then there’s the JABBER she’s been doing. Just talking our ears off!!

She listens and allows me to bargain with her. She has taken much more interest in solids (good), but therefore ignores important nutrition giving bottles. Today (twice) she was refusing the sippy cup, and I bargained with her, “Do you want to go night night?” “No!” “If you aren’t going night night, you have to drink your milk.” She took it both times!!

Last night at the company party she ended up with my plate in front of her and fed herself all night…mashed potatoes and HAM (she LOVED the ham!!)!!!

It happens so fast when it does happen…it catches me so off-guard!! She is SUCH a big girl suddenly! I swear the aliens took the whispy silent creature that was my daughter and replaced her with a lively little thing that is showing me just how MUCH knowledge she absorbed in her internalized silence. The girl is smart as a whip…I think we’re going to be in TROUBLE!!
