I am You, You is Me

the bean hasn't quite gotten the hang of pronouns yet - she calls herself "you".

like when she sees a photo of herself, it's finger pointed and a loud, ecstatic "you!"

tonight, before falling asleep, she also tried her first three-word sentence: "ant (slight pause) bit (slight pause) you", and prodded the part of her neck where an ant had perhaps nibbled earlier in the evening.

she didn't seem particularly discomfited and she went to sleep after i put some ointment on the area. what was striking about the incident was her attempt to communicate. okay, so it was partly in imitation of me when i'd asked her, "did an ant bite you there?" but it does show her comprehension.
