Zoe's vocabulary and linguistic ability has grown to the point where we have a hard time recording down all the surprising things she says. But here, I'll try to remember the more memorable ones:
Scene 1: At the Playground. Zoe wants to attempt coming down a very large, spiral slide, one that is intended for much older children. Mommy watches her make her way towards the slide, and decides to dissuade Zoe.
Mama: Zoe, don't you think this slide is too big for you?
Zoe: No.
Mama (not sure if she should just let Zoe try it, wavers): Hmm, it looks too big. It is a big person slide.
Zoe (quoting Seuss, the line we use when we want her to eat say a fruit): "Try it, try it, you may like it you will see!"
Mama decides to let Zoe try the slide. Luckily for both, Zoe decides last minute, after a close examination of the ride she is about to embark on, that it is "too big!" and backs off.
Other phrases Zoe has picked up and uses with great pleasure:
1. That's good enough (used when say I am pouring out milk for her)
2. Perfect (used when say I correctly interpreted her wish for cookies)
3. Go on (used when say she wants more)
Currently, Zoe is fascinated by armpits. Just the other day, we were in Barnes and Noble and she spotted one of her other interest: Octopus. Peering into a picture of a giant octopus, she pointed to the squiggly arms and correctly identified them as "tentacles!" Then, because I said "yes, tentacles are the arms of the octopus," she looked at it again and then pointed to where the tentacles linked up and said jubilantly "arm pit!" Then... the punchline.... "this armpit no hair!"
