We've recently learned that my little Pooz is just too shy to talk! It's surprising news to me, but I swear it's true!!
With her potty training lately I've really wanted her to just say "pee pee" so I know when we need to make a run for the potty. She kept refusing to say it and acting like she was too embarrassed. She does this anytime I ask her to repeat something so I have learned to interrupt her yells, and whines pretty well over the past couple years.
Last week I took her to her Birdy school (her preschool) and her teacher told me, "she whispers". I wasn't really paying attention though and didn't think much of it due the chaos of a mass of mothers picking up their two year olds.
Later that day I told Andrea to say pee pee and, of course, she refused. Then I whispered to her and asked her to "whisper it in my ear".... and the little stinker whispered "pee pee" in my ear in the cutest voice on earth!!!
I couldn't believe it. I wanted to make a huge deal and squeeze her to pieces, but instead I gave her an oreo cookie and said good job. :) I couldn't believe it!
Later she wanted to watch Rio. I know this because she was handing me the remote while flapping her arms and saying, "caw caw". I asked her to SAY Rio. She stared at me. Then I asked her to whisper Rio to me... and the little stinker whispered "Rio"!!!!
It's not 100%, but I can usually get her to whisper things to me, or at least get her to try.
So after nearly 13 years of parenting I'm still learning tricks.

WOW and WOW again! She really does everything her own way. Those little one, I mean youngest ones, REALLY know how to get the most out of any attention possible! I am amazed and I have seen it before... She is adorable, but WOW how they know it and use it :)) .
Johan just have to give Linnéa a hug at school and then a gang of grade 9-12, boys and girls, says "ohhhh, he is SOOO cute, I also want a little brother". After that J gives L another hug to get the same reaction again. Never ever that my girls get that positive feedback, just by being cute and give a hug!!
