An ever-growing lexicon

matrilI wish the title referred to Luke, but his vocabulary is still pretty much the same that it's been for while - limited to very utilitarian words for requests and such. "Open" "Cereal" "Bread" "Up" "Candy" *sigh*
Emma, on the other hand, is accumulating words like a linguistic sponge. Here's just some of them:
fish (meaning Goldfish crackers, spoken in an extremely urgent tone, since she's simply starving for more of these treats)
flowers
floss (she loves the stuff - either she's a future dentist or she just likes the mint flavor)
teeth (loves toothbrushing too...hmmm)
dolly
go
more (many a child's favorite word)
no!! (also many child's favorite word)
And thanks to Luke's potty training:

Luke's had a tiny, harmless cold these past few days, but I've had to keep him home from school nevertheless because he gets this lingering cough that sounds positively tubucular. It's far, far less horrible than the sound of it would indicate, but the school nurse hears just one little hack and she sends him home. So he's had a total of three days of school since the year started. grrr... He's going in tomorrow, and I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed. I've really come to despise the common cold since my son has managed to catch every single strain of it in the past year.
