It's so incredible how much Claire is learning right now. I feel like everyday brings on a new word or concept that I didn't realize she knew before. I know I've said this before with just about every stage, but I love this age!
Push-ups. Claire's been doing sit-ups and push-ups with James. Last week, after going out for dinner, we were walking by an outside table and chairs. Claire tried to climb up on the chair and couldn't pull herself up, so she immediately dropped to the ground to do some push-ups (to get stronger?) with no prompting, then tried to pull herself up on the chair again. Cuteness.
Dot. At the same restaurant, there was a mat on the ground with lots of round circles. Claire was going to each dot and hitting it with both her hands and saying "dot!" which I had no idea she knew. The people in the restaurant were quite amused.
Family. Her school is teaching about families right now, and Claire's picked up the concept of the small thing is the baby, the bigger is the mommy, and the third is the daddy. As she reads her books now, she'll point out "baby", "mama", and "dada" animals. She's also starting to relate people to each other. For instance, she knows that Ye-Ye and Nai-Nai go together, as do Po-Po and Gong-Gong ("ngog-ngog" still) and A-Yi (Crystal) and Kirby.
Baby Brother. You can ask her where the baby or her baby brother is, and she immediately turns to pull up my shirt to reveal my tummy. For fun the other day, I had her in my lap and told her that her baby brother kicked her, and she tried to kick him back. Sibling squabbles already? :)
