Aviva's self

Aviva very much wants to do things "self." If I pick up something from the floor but she wants to do it, then I drop it again so she can do it. She likes to close the refrigerator, so sometimes I need to open it again so she can close it. Self! Self!

Also things are either "tiny" or "whole bunch" - this refers to milk or food or flowers or the car window or her door, to her closet (the closet she sleeps in). They can all be tiny or whole bunch. 

And if she doesn't want me to do something, she says "verysoon." It's one word. 

She likes to count (but not in order) and likes to boss people around and she talks a lot. The other day she pointed at something and said, "Mira!" At her home daycare they speak only Spanish so that's nice that she's understanding and speaking. 

If she wants to tell me about something in the past, she just says, "Did." It's kind of like how Noah used to say "Done!" He still does it actually, at meals mostly.Noah's doing a pretty good job of being nice to Aviva, but it's sometimes hard for him because she hits him and takes things from him. She's a bossy little lady.
