Laurie, you asked for this again ...

Where we live

Anne, as the Capitol building comes into view: "That is Capitol Hill. That is where I live. My house is right over there."

Bugs

So far, Anne is unafraid of bugs. She giggles at ants. "Hello! Where is your mommy?" She looks at a painting in the living room that has a beetle in it and says, "He's my friend. He loves me. He hugs me."

No more biting for Annie. She stopped at age 8

Annie has stopped biting at age 8!!!

The imperative

Anne discovered imperatives today. She asked for a book while still in her crib this morning, and I couldn't find it in her bookcase. "Look up there!" she said as she pointed to the top shelf.

Somebody loves you

Me: "Anne, what's Mommy's name?"
Anne: "Somebody ..."
Me: "Mommy is somebody?"
Anne: "Mommy is somebody who loves you."
