Stuttering

Avea has been stuttering on and off for a couple of weeks now.  Today the stutter came back.  It was really bad.  I swear she said wha wha at least 12 times before "what" came out.  Of course there is something funny about this.  As she was asking me a question she started stuttering wh wh wh wh and on and on.  Finally she says "MAN, I CAN'T TALK TODAY" .  Sometimes I just have to laugh.  Actually, I always have to laugh.  Love my girl, and her funny disposition!!

Things she knows

Right now Avea is counting from 1-10 then she says eleventeen fourteen eighteen.
She is counting in spanish from 1-10 too.   I can't get her to do her ABC's hardly ever.  And her colors, she does pretty good at.  But I think she gets confused because she is learning them in spanish too.  I know teaching her both english and spanish is slowing her up.  I am sure it will be worth it in the long run.

She loves the song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.   She sings it with her lips sticking out.  I am not sure who she is mocking ;0/  She will be singing the whole song soon.  We play it over and over and over.

She just started dance class.  The first class, Mama had to go in and do most of the dancing.  The next class Dada took her.  He went in, then left her in by herself.  I guess she did okay.  She is ready to go back.  She has to wear just a regular Black body suit.  It looks absolutely adorable on her.  OF COURSE!! (biased Mama)
We didn't give you the gift of life , But in our hearts we know.
The love we feel is deep and real, As if it had been so.

For us to have each other Is like a dream come true!
No, we didn't give you the gift of life,

Life gave us the gift of you!!
