The other night Elizabeth was in the bath and I was showing her how to use her fishing net to catch the plastic fish. After my demonstration, I handed the net to Eiizabeth and said “now you try to catch the fish.” She proceeded to pick up a fish -with her hand- and plop it in the net.

She’s also started copying us, which is a scary thing, because now we have to really be careful what kind of role models we are. She’ll sit down with a book and “read” out loud to herself in her high-pitched voice. It’s neat that she recognizes that we use a different voice to read aloud than we do in normal conversation. Elizabeth is real good at smooches now. She’s also a master of the fake cough. Frank coughs, Elizabeth coughs and coughs again to be sure we heard. Maybe she thinks it means something like kisses do.
