Red Light, Green Light

Filed Under Seventeen Months, Talking | 2 Comments

Something fun that my mom taught Bailey- when she sees a traffic light, she yells “GO GO GO!!!” She used to yell it whether we were approaching a red light or a green light. We have had lots of talks about “Stop Dogs Stop, the light is red” and “Go dogs go, it’s green ahead”* and she finally knows the difference. Now I’m not saying that she could pick out red and green in another situation, but when it comes to lights she knows the difference. If we’re sitting at a red light she watches for it to change. As soon as it changes to green, she starts yelling at me to go.

Also, I am not sure who taught her this but when we go down hills or around a corner she says “Weeeeee! Weeeeeeeee!” My mom says she didn’t teach her, my friend Faith said Bailey did it in the car with her but she didn’t teach her, and it wasn’t me or Jonathan. So that leaves… nobody. Is it possible that she came up with it on her own?

One more random thing. Today Bailey walked into a spider web for the first time, at the park. I personally HATE spider webs especially touching my face, but she laughed out loud. Then she proceeded to tear down the rest of the web with her bare hands. Ick.

* From the book “Go Dog Go” by P.D. Eastman- it’s one of her favorites.
