Charlotte’s Vocabulary

Charlotte has started using many words she hears us say.  Sometimes she can’t think of the right word, so she describes what she means.  I love hearing her figure out new vocabulary.

Charlotte:  I don’t have anything to wear!!

Me:  You have a dresser full of clothes, go look again.

Charlotte:  [Runs off to look and comes back empty handed.]  I don’t have any confident clothes.

Me:  You don’t have any confident clothes?  Do you want help?

Charlotte:  Yes, please.  I need to find something confident.

Charlotte:  Can we listen to my favorite one of ‘You are my sunshine’?  It’s been a long time and it’s way back in my mind.

Me:  Yes, we can listen to the song on my phone.  It has been while.

She will also tell us everything is awkward, even if it doesn’t make any sense:

‘Smiley is playing with her toy.  Awkward!’

‘I got a new shirt. Awkward!’

‘You forgot to get potatoes at the store! Awkward!’
