little words and larger ideas

Esme has surprised me SO much the past few days -- definitely another language spurt going on, now she is using some of the little words (with/for/so/there/all/now) and more phrases we've said for a long time but she has never used on her own.

'You're silly - not a dragon - you the daddy!'
'Daddy I fix - you the rebot (robot) (bloop bloop - push "buttons" on chest) - there I fixed - Daddy you fixed!'
'Mumumum you come with downstairs get apple jack bowl! You cold? Here - you get coat (tosses blanket at me)- here - you put on - you PUT ON coat, come with, downstairs apple jack bowl bring upstairs sit on Tee (sit down and turn on tv)'
To us while we sit in our chairs at our desks : 'Mumum - you play with yarn? (knitting.. yes!) Daddy - you play with orange juice?' (haha - not quite right - but she was trying to compare)
'I put in the hamper - I put - I did it - I put it IN THERE.'
'You make the coffee Mumum? This coffee cup. It empty! You drink ALL? Good job mumum you drink all it empty - go put in sink! We come with (go together) (she gets her drink cup and tells me to get mine and prepares to march with me downstairs to do our drink cup manipulations together)'
'Daddy - you fill up the drink cup - thank you Daddy! You good job fill up the drink cup it all fill up!' (he did it when she didn't see)
'You take IT. TAKE! That's better. I take. We come with.'

When asked to find four quarters so she could bring them to get a chicken leg tomorrow she wrinkled her little nose at me in deep thought. Then she said 'I got it!' and went and asked Daddy for a quarter. He gave her a dollar (big!) and we said it was the same as four quarters and she had to put it in her music box so she could get a chicken leg - and don't lose it! and don't let a kitty or a doggie eat it! She put it in the music box for a while, then took it out and showed the mouse inside the music box 'I got a DOLLAR! I got a dollar!' and then asked for a quarter for her jellybeans... Daddy said she could give the dollar to Mumum and get FOUR jellybeans tonight, or save it until morningtime and get a chicken leg. She wrinkled her little nose again and thought hard - and then found her dinosaur book and put the dollar inside there with lots of 'rars' and 'you go RAR - bite - no fighting!' to the dinosaurs in the book on every page. I think she wanted the dinosaurs to protect the dollar from the doggies and kitties and wasn't sure what the mouse in the music box was going to do with it! It is still in the book, I think. She also told me that all the dinosaurs in the book were actually dinosaurs (instead of dragons) except for the pictures of them as bones - those are 'dragon parts'. I am not sure at all where that comes from.. or the idea that Daddy was a 'rebot'(robot) earlier and she had to fix him. Her imagination is really taking off!

And she is the most polite three-year-old we've ever met with her thank yous and you're welcomes. That's wonderful :)
