Me, Sailor

I can't get over the new things my daughter does and says EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

For instance, she LOVES to go into my husband's office and sit on his lap and watch episodes of Caillou (WHAT is up with the colors they've chosen for their house??) and color on printer paper with washable markers while my husband tries to keep up with email on his Blackberry.  She ususally just points to his office and says, "Dada. Dada.  'Mere (like "come here")."  Today, she looked at him and said, "Dada. Office."  

I know OFFICE doesn't seem that exciting, but when it's NEW and you realize it's the FIRST TIME, it's totally cool.

Also - and this is adorable - she INTRODUCED herself to her friend today!!  We're part of the most amazing mommy group and every other Thursday one of the mommies hosts what we call "Music Play."  It's basically like a "Music with Mommy" class, but it's just our group and the leader has her degree in awesome music stuff, so she's made the playdate UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME.  

ANYWAY, her daughter's name is Summer and Sailor walks up to Summer today and says, "Hi, Summer!" then she points to herself and says, "Me, Sailor!"  OMG.  I about died.  It was so adorable and so awesome to see her catch on to such a SOCIAL MUST.  So cool.

That's Me!

Last night, slowly sliding off her barely-too-big white wooden kid chair, I asked her, "Where's Sailor?"  She looked at me, confused.  Had the question been, "Where's dada?" or "Where's Sampson?" she simply would have pointed, repeating the name of who she was pointing to.  But to be asked where HERSELF was?  Hmm....

Where's Sailor?

As she continued to slide, she looked perplexed, but as if she was working swiftly through a Rubik's Cube, staring at the ground, deep in thought.

Her feet in the floor, her bum slid off the seat, she let go the back of the chair with her right hand, the matching table with the left, shot her eyes up to me, pointed to her chest and exclaimed, "SAILOR!" (Well, minus the "S" sound and the "L" sound.)

We clapped!  Yay!  She found Sailor!  And then she pointed to herself again and said, "Me."

Being a mom is so cool.
