fidgerator - Not the fridge, nor the refrigerator; fidgerator!
And it is amazing how frequently the word comes up in a four year old's conversation. Or maybe it is just that we very recently bought the appliance in question for our new house, and it is (seems at least) twice the size of the one in the apartment.

Angel Face frequently seems to be playing to a script in her head, to some stage director that only she can hear. She would frequently direct us to cast us as actors in her play.
"Nooo, you have to say this:..."
We need to be acting out her ideal of how the situation should progress.

Typical of her age she keeps repeating things, perhaps in some search for verification or reassurance.
"Will you and me, no you and you and me - will mama and doddamma and peddanana and me and mama - all go to the shops/in the car/wherever?"
This repeatedly enumerating a member is evident even in her counting. Despite the fact that she's known her numbers almost since she has been able to talk, when asked to count her fingers for instance she will start with an arbitrary finger somewhere in the middle, and count them all, and at least one a second time to get to six. Sometimes seven or eight.
Now she does that in three languages, since they are being taught Spanish in pre-school.
Perhaps she is just so enthusiastic about all the things, and about counting in general, that she can't bring herself to stop when she gets to the end. Kind of the 4yo application of the Law of Inertia.
