beautiful! do you guys generally keep these things around or toss them at some point? i always think "we need to archive these" and then within two days we have piles and piles of junk around the house. i guess taking a pic and storing it digitally might just be the best solution...

we toss a lot of stuff she brings home from day care because i assume the teachers did the bulk of the work on it anyways

K has started to put together what sound like sentences but are semi-nonsensical, like she's just imitating the rhythm of talking, but using mostly real words. They're usually in Hebrew, but they roughly translate to things like "Mom this walking" "Dad this walking" "Stroller we eat this" etc.

It doesn't fit with the thread's brief of "self-expression" either. Except later when she just drew bunnies all over the newspaper.
Oooh, I've got one of these where Abba really surprised me recently by copying the design on my tshirt, but it doesn't turn up well in photographs because it's thin pink crayon on white paper. I'll have to remember to try and scan it in this weekend.

My two-and-three-quarter-year-old has begun punning and making up jokes. Sample quips:
[We pass some tulips]"I have tulips, daddy. [points to mouth] On my face!"
[Partner is telling her story of how, before we owned them, our cats were strays rescued from a nearby car park.]"No mummy - they were rescued in a cat park!"
[She's having toast for breakfast]Partner: "We need to go to the post office, to post these letters."Marin: "We could post them in the toast office!"
