At least we think she is!!!! Annie is growing and changing every day. Today I showed her something that I was doing and I said "would you like to know why" and she said "Why" and then I explained why. Then Annie said "Oh, ok". She is just so very sweet and is really liking the fact that we have conversations. I don't know how much she really gets but she seems to understand.
The other skill Annie is learning is how to say "no, stop" when other kids push her. She just isn't used to being pushed around and when kids give her a push or shout "mine" at playgroup, she doesn't know how to respond. We are stepping in where needed but we want Annie to have the words and gestures to express herself. Annie already knows when to leave when things are getting rough. The other day we were in a toy area of a store and an older boy basically told her where to go when she ventured to touch his toy. I had a little chat with the boy about speaking to other children in that way - there wasn't another parent in sight. Later, he came near Annie while she was playing with a toy so she abandoned it and went to find another. Self preservation - the toy wasn't worth the confrontation.
The potty training is going well but yesterday Annie asked to wear a diaper for most of the day. We are trying not to make it stressful so she ran around in her diaper. This is a long process and we work at it together every day. Can't wait until Annie is diaper free!!!!!!!
