Words Galore

On this VERY difficult day with Johanna, complete with not one but TWO colossal meltdowns, accompanied by a refusal to participate in gymnastics, I'm going to try to focus on the positive and create a list of the words/phrases she says so far in English on her own (not just repeating us):

  1. Mama
  2. Dada
  3. Jonas
  4. Johanna
  5. Molly
  6. doggy
  7. woof
  8. duck
  9. quack
  10. kitty
  11. meow
  12. monkey
  13. giraffe
  14. all done
  15. there you go
  16. the end
  17. eat
  18. drink
  19. food
  20. apple
  21. banana
  22. brush teeth
  23. sleep
  24. what about
  25. ear
  26. eye
  27. owie
  28. uh oh
  29. no thank you
  30. thank you
  31. school
  32. home
  33. up
  34. potty
  35. poo poo
  36. stinky
  37. book
  38. car
  39. pretty
  40. beautiful
  41. yummy
  42. let it go (she's a Frozen fan)
  43. yucky
  44. yes
  45. no
  46. watch
  47. ball
  48. bubble
  49. one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
  50. help
  51. come on
  52. get back (we say this to Molly)
  53. no touch
  54. hot
  55. cold
  56. hug
  57. cheers
  58. shoes
  59. goodnight
Not bad for less than three weeks at home! I'm sure there are some I'm forgetting, as well as some she says that we don't understand. She also understands many many more words than the ones she can say. Here's hoping she can communicate her problems rather than having a meltdown about them in the very near future!
