“Pees”
I forgot to post about Laelia’s newest accomplishment! She can now say, “please!” Although is sounds more like “peeees.” 
Here’s a video of her meeting baby Penelope, and you can hear a faint “pees” when she wanted to see the baby.
It’s so great! Now any tantrum can be stopped cold. All I have to do is respond, “Laelia, what do you say?” And she thinks about it and then, all teary-eyed, says ”pees.” And then the babygirl gets whatever the babygirl wants! It’s that adorable! Sometimes when we’re suppose to be learning how to say new words (like “book” or “spin”) she’ll give up and try a cute, hesitant “pees” on me to see what happens. She’s quick, that one.
One day last week when I was home from work we sat down with crackers and worked on learning “please.” She screamed ”cak-er” half the day, but by the time Charley got home from work, she performed her “please” perfectly.
Needless to say she’s had a LOT of crackers in the past week.
