Ada chirps away all day long. She has a pretty posi take on things and does a lot of nodding with imploring eyes when she is asking for something or even just telling me what is happening, I love this. Life with Ada at the moment is a combination of running commentary ("my drinking a drink bottle"), mimicry ("oooh, it lovely") and  a game of Whose Line is it Anyway? (see below) thrown in. We have taught her the all important kiwi up swing at the end of sentences, we hear a lot of, "yeah?" Or "no?" Or sometimes together like this, "No. - (wait for it) - yeah, yeah!" 'Yeah but nah but' can't be too far off. I love the my instead of I. I correct her maybe once a day and it is slowly disappearing, but no rush, the English language is a fickle changeable master, she will get it soon enough.
Quotable of late:

While playing house, "No Mama, go away!" With a stop sign hand to prove her point.

The other day with gumboots on her hands, "My is a hedgehog. With long arms. My go roar." We don't cover hedgehogs too often.

When wearing my shoes. "My is a dinosaur." I guess the clompy walking is dinosaurish?

Anytime the feeling is right: "my so happy!" I love this. A lot.

We get a lot of "no photo's" at the moment. I need to be sneakier for sure.

When a character looks sad: "he wants Mama." Awwwww, so sweet! 

"My do it myself!"
