The Lizzie Kat News: Perfect Score!

We had no accidents this afternoon! But no attempts. Apparently our little girl can save her pee from naptime until bathtime.

Words update (2 years): It's official -- no more updates necessary. Lizzie uses full sentences, some articles, possessives and plurals, some tenses (usually past tense). She has an enormous vocabulary and labels everything (for instance, in Go Dog Go, she points out "rollerskates, jackhammer, shovel, pick axe, baseball, cannon, trampoline, etc.) -- if we name something more than once or twice, she remembers the word. (So yeah, we need to watch what we say!) Lizzie also understands spelling in a fwe cases. c-double-o-k-i-e is no longer safe to spell! (nor is p-a-r-k).

Signing update (2years): Lizzie now knows all of the signs in Volumes 1-12 of Baby signing time. M guess is that she has about 200 signs. She still signs quite often, but since we're the only ones who sign with her, I'm guessing it'll taper off in time with school, friends, etc. We still find signing very useful for non-verbal communication.
