32 months

Much MUCH more talking, repeating, commenting on anything and everything. She holds conversations, describes actions in movies and books and that her toys are doing. She makes me wear an invisible hat and give her one too. Sometimes her hands are monsters and they eat things and talk. She understands how things work much better - and is much more likely to listen to instructions. She can squirt a squirt gun, open a marker and other things she refused to listen to how to do before... She will sometimes listen to reason and befores and afters (you can do X - but we have to have a new diaper / wash your hands / pick up toys etc... you can't do that - it will bite you / fall down / be 'ewwww' etc.)

She still knows all her letters, a few numbers now and a lot of colors and animals. She can rote count up to ten if she feels like it, but most of the time feigns ignorance. She will proudly proclaim twos and threes, and 'this one and the other one' for pairs of shoes, twin toys etc... She can read some words and announces every STOP sign loudly.

She can walk up the stairs one leg at a time, and pull down most of the shorts and pants she has on her own. That was something she had a lot of trouble with before. She's much more obstinate about picking out her own clothing lately - which sometimes is a pain because she doesn't want to wear anything that is clean.

Some of the things I've heard her say recently:
Drink cup, where are you? Have you seen drink cup Daddy? There you are drink cup! Bad Drink Cup! etc etc..
We're going to go to town.
Take off cow shirt please.
Bad dog, no bite (to the puppy pulling on her shirt)
Kitty, get off the bed.
Doggy, don't eat my food!
Mama, this my read, no my read, go away!
Farmer, watch out! Oh no Farmer, you awight? (to the farmer in Shaun the Sheep who got scared by the rat in the glove)
