The intelligence of a 2 year old

So this morning, I was trying desperately to get a few more minutes of sleep (which never really works...but I can dream) all the while listening to the conversation Graham was carrying on with Abigail in the next room.  She was reciting her ABCs for him and we were surprised to know that she can now recognize "X" (which she always called "K") and she will now refer to "Q" as "O", in which she used to just say "I don't know!"  We have also learned that we really need to watch what we say...unfortunately for us, last night while getting her ready for bed, I accidently taught Abbie her first curse word.  I was holding her sister and Abigail jumped off the change table at me saying "jump!", luckily I caught her, but in the process yelled "Oh Crap", which is not as bad a word as I could have said, but still.  Immediately after I yelled it, Abigail proceeded to yell "Oh crap!" over and over....not the ideal ending to my evening...but it did not end there...I am about to talk about potty training, so if you don't want to know about my daughters bowl movements, please stop reading now.  Last night, long after Abigail went to bed, I was watching television downstairs ( I was watching One Tree Hill, if you are interested) and Graham was at Bible study, but I started to hear Abigail crying upstairs.  I ran up and Abbie started yelling "Poo! Poo!"  in which I checked her diaper and called her a liar and started to leave the room...she yelled out "Poo, Poo, now, potty"  so I ran her to the bathroom and sure enough she pooped on the potty...in fact I cannot remember when I last changed a poopy diaper of hers....Graham can't either.
This morning, her vocabulary shocked me again, when she brought over some of her play food and told me that they were "strawberry, donut, coke, and mato"!  Go Abbie Go!
