We had SD4 yesterday and she was her natural annoying self, but now she has started to do the 'why' thing. She hasn't done this before and I know it is natural for many kids to get to this stage but does it HAVE to be so darn annoying?!? She was watching Barbie Mermaidia and kept asking why to EVERYTHING from why is barbie blonde to why doesn't Bibble talk like Barbie does. Then she wanted DH to read her a book on firsts (plane ride, day of school, siblings etc) and yet again she asked WHY TO EVERYTHING. I am sitting there listening to her and she interrupted DH every other word with a 'why'. I know its normal but oh mylanta its irritating.
We tried working with her on her ABCs, colors, shapes and opposites. She can do the abc's but completely wrong. We tried helping her but we can't get rid of the 'h i k k elimino i'. When DH took her home, we learned WHY. When he took SD4 back to BM she wanted DH and BM to do the ABC song with her before DH left. Of course DH complied so they stood on the porch and all three did the abcs. BM DOES THE H I KK ELIMINO I too!!!!! Plus instead of Z its C, and V is B. I was shocked! This woman is 31 and she STILL can't say her ABCs right. This child is DOOMED.
Good part of the day? SD4 can now name hexagons, pentagons and octagons without help. Oh and I discovered BM doesn't know her abcs... }:)
All in all it was a good visitation. Probably the best in a long time. Maybe its the ginkgo biloba I started taking....
