Mantras

Sydney is starting to put together two word phrases. Mostly she affixes "no" "more" and "my" to other words she knows:

No night-night
My water (water being anything to drink, including my Diet Coke)
More bites (to eat)

But she has one two word phrase that she uses the most often:

Fall hurt.

It's her new mantra.

But thankfully it doesn't keep her from trying things, just reminds her to stop and think when she wants to try a new stunt. She still takes the leap from the coffee table to the couch, but her new mantra did stop her from jumping from seat of her little chair which was turned sideways to the futon -- a leap which was sure to start with her feet getting hung on the arm of the chair and would have ended with a fall. And falls hurt. No fall.
