Opposites and Answers

Ana is full of them. Two of her newest and most favorite word games are opposites (words paired with the actions) and answering our questions. Here is how the games go:

Opposites:
up/down- Daily Ana can be found playing for 1/2 an hour by stating repeatedly, with the actions, "up", "down", "up" (and other opposites listed below) anywhere she can find to put objects or her body up and down (stairs, ladders, slides, baby gates, bath tubs, doll house, books, blocks, cupboards, ovens, dishwashers...you get the picture),

in/out- same game as above

open/close- same game as above

Answering Questions:
Mom & Dad: "What is your name?"
Ana: "Ana"

Mom & Dad: "How old are you?"
Ana: "one"

Mom & Dad: "What is this?"
Ana: verballly labels LITERALLY more objects than I can count....this girl comes up with the correct label for things the first time I point them out to her without me even telling her what it is.....SPONGE

(time to stop swearing!)

I would recommend that as Nora's favorite phrase for about two weeks was "oh shit!" Perfect inflection too!
