Repetition may be a beautiful thing for learning but sometimes it can be down right irritating. For instance, Sophie's new obsession is to proclaim, "Eeeeew!" to anything mildly unpleasant to her. Ants, a speck of pepper between her fingers, lint on our clothes or floor, when anyone uses the bathroom in her view (that one we have to agree with though), a piece of dried leaf that made it into the doorway, anything that has washed off her and into her bathwater, a can or Styrofoam cup that we find along a walk, crumbs on the kitchen floor, and so on, and so on, and so on! We hear "Eeeeeew!" to an excessive degree each day. Keri has notice that "Ew!" is in her own vocabulary but Sophie picked it up and ran, ran like the dickens with it!
