Personality and Strenghts

At work we all did a bunch of personality type stuff and here is what I came out with:

Personality Type based on Myer-Briggs

The Language of 2 Year Olds

With my current job I am working with two year olds. At this point in their lives they are learning how to talk, and name their shapes and colors and such. So one afternoon we were all sitting around our wall chart of shapes and the kids were pointing them out with great pride saying the names of them. Now of course what they were saying did not so much resemble the name of the shape but they were catching one or two of the sounds that should be there. Well one child points to the start, looks at me with a huge smile on their face making sure I was listening to them, and confidently pronounces the name, "sshit." Hmmmm, yes honey that is a star, good job!

Another child consistently calls a triangle, chicken.

The next day one of my girls comes up to me and holds a one sided five minuet long conversation (that is very long for a two year old). She was very excited about the story she is telling me and talking as fast as she can. She is also taking in a huge breath between each word she says making the story quite long. This is a little bit of how it went:

she (breath)
she (breath)
she (breath)
and (breath)
umm (breath)
bing (breath)
and (breath)
for (breath)
and (breath)
JACK (breath)
um (breath)
chab (breath)
choo choo (breath)
for (breath)
JACK (breath)
and (breath)
chair (breath)
seat belt (breath)
Here she cracks up laughing at her story
aaannnnndddd (breath)
mommy come (breath)
and (breath)
and (breath)
daddy come (breath)
and (breath)
um (breath)
she (breath)
she (breath)
she (breath)
come (breath)
um (breath)
and (breath)
church (breath)
um (breath)
yeah (breath)
table (breath)
and (breath)
chair (breath)
daddy (breath)
on (breath)
him chin (breath)
Once again she starts laughing, showing me on her chin about her daddy
daddy (breath)
daddy (breath)
chin (breath)
and (breath)
miss (breath)
and (breath)

This was the understandable part of the conversation, there were a lot of words thrown in there that I could not make out at all. But I found her very funny with how excited she was about telling me all about her daddy and something on his chin.

And that my dear friends is the level of conversation I have throughout my days!
