Annie-isms of late

Just so I don't forget... Annie's been saying some cute things lately, that others may find amusing:

Whenever someone says "I love you" to Annie, she always responds, "Sweet dreams," no matter what time of day or venue. (I think it's a carryover from when I put her to bed; my last words are often, "I love you, sweet dreams," before I shut the door.)

Two is always the number of choice. If you ask Annie if she wants anything of desire, she will most definitely respond, "Want two?", only to be followed by "Want a-lot-a-dem" (aka, "a lot of them").


She's also gotten so used to me clarifying what she does and does not want (read: "You DO want more?"), that she now has replaced the pronoun, "I," with "Do," so that any expression of desire begins with it, as in "Do want some fruit snacks," or "Do want some puzzles with Mama?"

And in a nod to my continued, but woefully ignored efforts in potty-training, she calls the toilet "the bathroom," such as "Wanna sit on the bathroom?" (which she only wants to do with the lid down so she has somewhere to rest whilst brushing her teeth).
