E.V. is a whole lot of fun to hang out with and she was a cutie most of the weekend, indulging our social selves by being very accomodating with all our friends. She's quite a social butterfly. She's very close to walking by herself. She wants the independence and yet she's so afraid of letting go. Will we see the same kind of look on her face when she's 18 and leaving the house? :)
She's been adding a few words to her vocabulary. Also, she's started figuring out that there are variations for one "thing". I'm fascinated by listening to her figuring out the bilingual thing: depending on who talks to her a ball is "ba" (open a), or "boh". Her dad was all excited the other day because after weeks of E.V. saying "chauss" for shoes (chaussures), she scooted to him, pointed to his Converse, and clearly said "Shooooo". So far, it's worked only for these two objects where the sounds are similar. Some other objects she only says in the one language where the word is easiest such as "boo" for book. I don't think she's anywhere close to trying "livre"!
Human brain is quite impressive in that respect... so flexible at this age!
