It would be incorrect to say that Lailah doesn't talk as much as Eowyn. She does talk just as much, she uses far more made up words, and the real words she does use are sometimes hard to decipher- but she does talk/verbalize easily as much.
Sometimes while we are watching TV she's just sitting on the sofa humming. Not humming tune, really just buzzing. Making noise- sometimes robot noises "beep-bloop-bloop-beep." Sometimes she will come up with an urgent story which must needs be told- about a purple dragon.
If you ask her who ate the last cookie, or how her toy got broken, she's say, "Maybe it was a monster."
She decided just after her third birthday that she would be potty trained, but before that she flat out refused to participate in the training exercises which I wanted her to perform. I tried to transition her to pull-ups by telling her that diapers were for babies. "Do you want to be a baby."
Lailah, "yes!"
Me, "No! You want to be a big girl!"
Lailah, "No, me baby!"
Me, "Well, no more diapers. You are going to wear these pull-ups now!"
Lailah, "That diaper!"
Me, "No it's not! It's like panties see!" (Showing her how pull-ups are connected at the sides and diapers are not connected."
Lailah, "Do this," (pulls the pull-up sides apart at the velcro seams) "now it diaper!"
Me, "Give me that! This is a pull-up!"
