That being said, I do love to see all the new things that she is learning:
- Her vocabulary is expanding... not as much as some of her Xinyu sisters mind you, but coming along. She's certainly babbling more than ever! Her favourites: "I dooo"; "No, no", giggle giggle, run away; "Owtdide" which I think is outside; "BabaMama" which is all one word because it isn't good enough to have just one of us there; and of course "MORRRE!" which mostly applies to food, but sometime applies to tickles and teasing.
- She can feed herself a complete meal with her spoon and barely spill a drop. She's very fastidious and will pick up every grain of rice that falls. At daycare they say that she uses her spoon better than some of the kids who are a year older than her. What can I say. She loves her food!
- She loves to help clean up. Both at home and at daycare. She pushes chairs back against the table. She puts her books back on the self or in her book bins. She puts her clothes in her hamper. She puts her tea set away in it's plastic bag and does up the zipper (with a little help).
- She even comes over and presents her nose when I say, "Can Mama wipe your nose for you?"
Pat and I keep saying we have to take more photos and video because these days of metamorphosis from baby to little girl and all of her little sounds and sayings will be gone soon.
And she is getting used to daycare. She still cries a bit sometimes when I drop her off, but only for a few minutes. One day last week, she was having so much fun that she didn't want to leave when Baba arrived to pick her up.
Here are some random photos:
I'll take that piece please!
Ah, banana bread. One of life's little luxuries.

No, no. Giggle, giggle.
