Brought to you by the letter T and the number 2

HG is still busily learning new words. This morning, she seemed to be working on T words. Her t's sound a bit like d's, but she's getting there. Looking at one of her animal books, she saw the parrot and said, "Tuki", Hebrew for parrot. (Well, she dropped most of the second syllable, but it was clear enough.) And then she made a parrot noise: Aw! Aw!

She looked at Ima's foot, reached for the big toe and said, "Toe!" She was so proud of it that she repeated it many times. Then, when getting dressed, Ima helped her first with "one arm", then HG chimed in with "Two! Two arm!" She's never said two before, or tuki. (We may have heard toe once or twice before.)

She's also been working on her colors. Ima showed her the morning glories on our balcony, and HG said, "Blue!" (They were.) One of her colors books has a mixed-up page, where everything has the wrong color. She noticed the blue chick, and exclaimed, "Blue!"

She's also learning red, which she calls "adom" (Hebrew). (In general, she prefers whichever language has the easier word to pronounce.) Though she does get confused between blue and green, as well as red and orange.

It's all right. She's working on it.
