Accelerating

I love it! Alexis has begun to regularly use the word accelerating. It all began when she would worriedly ask if Dad was speeding while driving. She always asked any time he sped up. So we explained to her the difference between speeding (going over the speed limit) and accelerating (increasing your speed). Today Philip got a new car and took the girls for a ride around the block. She came home and told me all about the ride, "He was going so fast! And he kept accelerating!" She just came in from riding her bike and let me know that she kept accelerating and going in circles. I love that she has made this word part of her daily vocabulary and is learning to use it correctly.
