Thalia has increased her vocabulary significantly. Unfortunately, too much of what she says is in defiance of everyone around her:
No, don't do dat!
I don't like dat!
Stop dat!
NO!
I'm afraid that she is merely parroting our own negativity since she gets herself into a lot of mischief. Nonetheless, I invented a car game to see who can get her to say something, anything, positive first.
Me: I love you, Thalia!
Thalia: No! Don't do dat!
Laura: Hello, Thalia!
Thalia: No! I don't like dat!
Sophia: Do you want a hug, Thalia?
Thalia: Stop dat! NO!
Me: I love you, Thalia!
Thalia: I wuv you.
Daddy wins! Haha! Well, we'll all win if we can get a positivity streak going...
