Hi Stinker,
As I write this you are sitting on the floor in front of me trying to drink out a a water bottle. You have just your diaper on and look really cute (but naughty!!). One of your newest tricks is you now know how to drink out of a sippy cup!!! You finally figured out that you have to tip it in order to get the water out, not just suck on it. But of course you now make a huge mess because after you get the water in your mouth you let a lot of it drool out of your mouth. But you do love your water.
You have now completed your second week at your new daycare-New Horizons. You went all day these last four days which was a big increase from the week before!!! Overall it went well. It was easier on you than dad and I. You did end up getting a bad cold with a pretty bad cough. As a result you were up in the middle of the night a couple of nights this week. But last night you slept through the night-which was great.
It is a Friday, so we have been home together today and boy are you a lot of work. You are so busy and think it is my job to keep you entertained! (even though you have plenty of toys!!!). You went to club kids at the DAHLC and then we went a visited daddy at work. We went and got soft serve ice cream, which you love!
You napped a little after we got home and then I took you on a little ride around the neighborhood in your new Burley D'lite bike trailer. You actually really liked it. It is a work out for me, though!!! The next step is to get you to wear your helmet when you are in it! Right now you scream very loudly when we put it on you!!! You don't even like to have it near you. But I don't know if I am comfortable with you not wearing it while in the Burley. Be right back you are headed to the stairs-you love to climb up them!!
Okay, I am back. I let you do one round of climbing up the stairs and then we played in your room for a little. You love to sit in the rocker and then fall off of it into my arms. When I got back downstairs I put the gate up at the bottom of the stairs and you of course cried, but got over it fast. You are now onto destroying a magazine! You don't do anything halfway! You put a lot of intensity into everything you do.
You are definitely starting to exert a lot of independence and are testing our limits. I am trying to figure out the best way to "discipline" you. You seem to know the meaning of NO. Because when I tell you NO you will usually stop doing what you are doing and give me this little smile. Sometimes I just redirect you or take the object away from you. This of course upsets you and you will throw a mini tantrum. But the good thing is that you usually get over it fairly quickly and move onto other things.
You continue to have this strong need to explore everything around you. Every drawer, box, cupboard..etc... But your attention span is short and you are easily bored with one toy and looking for a new one.
Love you honey!
