Conversations with Penny

I've been posting to facebook these cute conversations that Penny and I have, and I know the timeline setup allows you to go back and see things you've posted in the past, but I thought it would be easier to preserve these on my blog, and I thought some of you who aren't my facebook friends might like to read them too. The language development I've been witnessing over the last few months has been so much fun for me, both as a parent and a speech therapist!

P (handing me Shakespeare's Measure for Measure from our "grown up" bookshelf): Mommy read it.

E: What's D for?

Daddy: Say "meet the press", Penny.
P: Meet the mess.

7/7/12
E: (giving Penny a small plate of blueberries) Here, Penny, want some blueberries?
P: Drink it.
E: You can't drink blueberries.
P: (puts face to plate and eats one hands-free) I drink it!

E: Penny, what do you want for breakfast? Do you want cereal or yogurt?
P: Yeah.
E: Which do you want? Cereal or yogurt?
P: Coffee. (Then smiles and laughs)

6/7/12
E: Penny, what do you want for breakfast?
P: (silence)
E: Do you want oatmeal? ...or yogurt? ...or cereal?
P: Bacon.

6/3/12
P: Mommy, Mommy!
E: What, Penny?
P: Mommy! Please.
E: What do you want, Penny?
P: Beer. (pointing to Guinness on the counter)

E: Beer? You want beer?
P: Yeah.
E: Sorry, Penny. Beer is for grown-ups.
P: Daddy's?
E: Yes.

 

I think this might be a cute recurring blog segment if Penny keeps providing the material.
