You, Sit, Lap, Me!

We have a little Yoda in our midst these days. Just a couple of months ago, she was uttering just one or two words at a time, but now she's issuing three, four and five word directives. They're a little jumbled, and they're mostly lacking prepositions, which just adds to her "little dictator" personality.

Here's some phrases you're likely to hear in our playroom these days:

"You talking ME??"

"We now go?"

"You cook me!"

"Baby sit me now!"

"Wash hands, me!"

"Please, fix you now!"

"My room, I go!"

"Play hair you, Mommy?"

and, most commonly of all,

"You, sit, lap, me! You, sit, lap, me!" This will escalate quickly in tone and urgency, until you acquiesce, and finally haul little Yoda baby into your lap. She's pretty hard to say no to.
