Brian made some delicious waffles and I gave Dorothy one to eat while she was watching t.v. I didn't dress it up because she was on the couch and it was already so tasty. I checked-in on Dorothy and she hadn't touched it. "Don't forget about your waffle," I told her. "I haven't ate it," she said. "It has no other things."
Dorothy likes to use the word succeed in its transitive way, such as playing a game and saying "If I succeed four, it'll be the best I've done!" and "Do you think I can succeed five?"
We were reading a book explaining how things work, and Dorothy wasn't interested in hearing a few of the grosser pages. I told her to let me read it to myself, and then we'd move on. "I didn't know you could read so fast," she told me when I turned the page.
Dorothy's class was studying fairy tales. They learned that many fairy tales begin with "Once Upon a Time." "What words are at the end of many fairy tales?" the teacher asked, and called on Dorothy. "The End," Dorothy answered, and after a pause, added, "but before that, they often say 'And they all lived happily ever after.'"
Dorothy was playing with the tassels of a blanket which she referred to as the "bristles."
Dorothy picked up a book to read and I said, "Come with me. I'm going to sit on the bench outside and read my book, and you can bring your book and sit with me." "Okay, but I'm going to read out loud," Dorothy warned me.
