When Rose wants to tell you something she prefers to do it in the context of a question and answer. She’s developed this complicated way of asking you a question that she actually wants you to ask her. It goes something like this:
Rose: Is it yummy?
Me: Is it yummy?
Rose: Yes!
She also uses it to indicate what she wants to do. Such as:
Rose, obviously bored: What park do you want to go to Rosie?
[Pause]
Rose: ROSE! What park do you want to go to!
Me, sighing: Rose, what park do you want to go to?
Rose, grabbing her things: Camperdown Park!
It’s kinda cute. Very smart. And a little odd.
And speaking of cute, smart and odd, I got her all dressed up for her day care photo today. Here she is wearing the party dress I made her. Damn it if you don’t just want to reach out and grab her little cheeks.
I love it, especially the part where she repeats herself in case you didn’t quite catch on the first time.
