Super Brilliant Lovely
Emily has introduced a great new adjective into her vocabulary recently...SUPER!
When she runs, she's "Super Fast", when she has a good day, it's "Super Great", and the dinner mummy made the other night was "Super Brilliant Lovely". I like it a lot.
The other measure of greatness is her rating system. A while back, in an attempt to get her to behave, I explained a scale of 0 to 10, and asked her to be "10 Good".
For a while, Emily would ask "am I 10 good?", and I would say "Yes, 10 good" or "hmmm, maybe about 5 good at the moment", and of course, sometimes "no, you are being zero good!".
Then, Emily appropriated this scale for herself, and would describe things as being "Ten Good!". Soon however, our scale wasn't cutting it, and things began to be "Forty Good", "Fifty Good" and, best of all "FortyFifty Good!".
Today, something was described as "EightyNinety Good!". I'm not sure where we go from here. "Super Brilliant EightyNinety Good" perhaps?
