Seeking Delayed Brilliance: New Words and Things

Nothing is going on that is really worth writing paragraphs about, so I thought I would update with a list of new things instead.

Here are the new words, phrases, and skills that we have come to find out Lyric knows in the past few weeks:

"Dinosaur!"
"Pirate!"
"Christmas"
"Candy"
"Trick or treat" (sounding less like 'Poo poo pee' every day)
"I can't reach it!"
"Help, please!"
"You're welcome"
"Cookie"
"Push the button"
"Why they go?" (referring to the kitties, who run away every time she comes into the room)
"I don't know"
"Cow"
"Kitty" (they are no longer diddehs)
"Doggy"
"A bird!"
"Ducky"
"There it is!"
"Basket"
"Baby"
"Peanut butter"
"Bread"
"Where are you?"
"Where are you going?"
"Perry the Platypus"
"Isabella"
"Baljeet"
"I did it"
"Need to potty"
"Popcorn"
"Clothes"
"Car"
"Wash your hands"
"Brush your teeth"
"Flush"
She sings her ABCs (sort of) and Happy Birthday and the Clean Up song
She asks for Snoopy, Odie, Pocoyo, and Hopla by name.
She counts from 1 to 20 correctly, and can point out some colors.
She sorts things according to color and shape.
She can buckles herself into her car seat.
She helps with cooking and can pour pancake batter onto the griddle, mix and serve her own mac and cheese, and spread peanut butter on bread.
She helps with cleaning and likes to sweep, mop, and put clothes down the laundry chute.

She had her first school picture day last week, and I am dying to know how the pictures came out. Hopefully we get them before the month is over. Travis picked out a super cute outfit for her, and she loves to mug for the camera, so fingers crossed! Dance class is going reasonably well. We did have one hiccup the week before last. We left early because Lyric was just having a "Lyric Day" and wouldn't focus or pay attention. It seemed to be a little better this week, except for the part where she enlisted a partner in crime in her activities. I'm hoping her attention span improves, but wondering if dance might be a liiiiitttle too quiet for her liking. We will see as the weeks go on. In the mean time, here are some photos just because.
