Milk!
Saturday night we went over to the Bowman's house... they're some friends from Ethan's school, with a 4-year-old girl (Lucy) and a 6-year-old boy (Xander). We had pizza and enjoyed their dress-up box. Linna looked very cute in butterfly wings and a tulle skirt, plus she acquired Lucy's outgrown "princess slippers."
Then we shared PlayStation games - a little Guitar Hero, a little Dance Dance Revolution. While Xander and Ethan were doing a dance, Linna was getting cranky and saying, "Nana! Nana!"
Lucy asked, "What does that mean?" and I told her, "It means she wants milk."
So I started to nurse Linna, and Lucy walked away... she came back a few minutes later dragging an open gallon of milk and a little plastic cup. It was very sweet of her, but we had to explain that wasn't the kind of milk Linna wanted!
A few days ago Linna suddenly started signing "please" after her "more!" I think I said, "More, please?" and noticed that she was doing the "please"... which was funny because I can't even remember the last time we showed her the "please" sign. Anyway, she was pleased with herself and all the attention that got her.
And one more thing - a few days ago she was in the dining room, and walked over to Turtle. Linna gave Turtle a few pats, then lay down with her head on Turtle. Wish I'd had my camera! Apparently the next day she did the same on Teddy.
