Carrots For the Horsies

The girls and I went down the street to go feed the horses today since Brynn has been asking for quite a few days now. She loves to eat carrots these days because she knows the horses eat carrots and she can't wait to ride one again. She is getting so much better at communicating these days (I've really noticed a big jump in the last week) and I can understand that she's trying to tell me she wants to ride them again! I love it! So Bryce and I are going to take her again in the next few weeks to ride a horse.

She tries so hard to talk to us and it just melts my heart! Makes it really hard to say "no" to her... even though sometimes we have too. Everyone keeps saying that once she starts, she won't stop - but I really can't wait for that day! (Ask me in 10 years and I may change my mind!) So what can she say?? Well (to name a few): Mom, Dad, Me (& she points to herself) - she shows me signs for big & tiny, she can say more, milk, up, , yes, open, help - and most of these are followed with "please"... she's very polite! and just in the last few days she's really been trying hard to put things together - like "Me" and then she does her sign for the airplane or whatever she's trying to tell me that she wants to do. It's baby steps and can be frustrating at times but she is trying so hard and I just love her so much!! Today she was pointing to the different size burners on the stove and showing me which ones were big and which ones were tiny. It's exciting that she's starting to do this stuff more spontaneously without us having to ask her.
