Rachel has been talking a lot just lately, which has been really fun. She just randomly talks, whether anyone is in the room with her or not. Most of her conversations have centered around colors. She assigns colors to people quite frequently. Today her older brother is purple and her sister is pink. Grandpa is dark green. Today she is dark white. I'm trying to figure out what color that actually is. I don't know if that's black or grey or beige or just white that is dirty. I asked her to show me "dark white" and she smiled and said "No, it's mine." So I'm left wondering.
We were headed out the door to go to the store and she said "It's my friend's brother's uncle's cousin." I was impressed that she was able to string the words together that well, even though I'm quite certain she doesn't understand relationships well enough to do it accurately. She frequently mislabels people. Sometimes she does it accidentally because she's not sure what the word means, and sometimes it's on purpose to tease or because she's angry. She knows that some titles go with some people, but I don't think she understands why they get that title. Sometimes she understands more than she lets on, though, or at least more than she can verbally express, so who knows?
She's staring out the window with a little mischievous smile on her face. I asked her what she was doing and she said she wants cake. A dark white cake. With sprinkles.
Sometimes I wish I could see inside her head so I could understand what she is talking about.
