Listening In

I love listening to my children talk to each other because sometimes its the only indication that I'm modeling the right behavior.

Cooper calls Charlotte 'honey' when they are pretending. As in 'honey it's okay I'm right here, you are safe'.

When they are excited Charlotte initiates a pound fist variation to cheer each other on. Lately it's been 'pound cake, French fries'.

Cooper often tells Charlotte he is so proud of her when she accomplishes something. He tells her 'you can do it, I know you can' when something is hard for her. He also asks for confirmation from her if he's been nice such as, 'I found train tracks for you, that was so nice right Charlotte?'
