Erin has entered a new phase of conversation, asking the definition of words she doesn't know. She never when through a "why" phase, and I guess I just assumed she would pick up the definition of words through context. Now when we're reading she'll stop me frequently to ask, "What does 'insignificant' mean? What does 'gangster' mean? What does 'spectacles' mean?" I asked her if the boys in her class play "cops and robbers" and was answered with a quizzical look, "Mom, what does 'cops' mean?" Supposedly she's picking up an average of 6 words a day now. Some days it feels like she's trying to learn the whole dictionary.
