I don’t have a lot of time but I have been wanting to record a few things about Lucy before I forget. Sorry I have been MIA buuuut… I’m busy. Kind of nesting. Child training and tired.
There have been a few major milestones that have happened within the past two weeks. What a big girl.
1. She is starting to recognize smells. She, for the first time, commented that something smelled “stinky”. In a particular situation, someone had tooted (in public) and she totally called them out: “I smell poop”. Oh so funny. It was a stranger. They didn’t pay attention.
2. She is starting to button her own buttons. She successfully buttoned one of her sweater jackets all by herself. I was so proud of her! She was so proud!
3. She has been asking me if Abram can come out of my belly. Every morning she hugs and kisses him and says “I love Abram so much!”. It is so sweet and makes my heart melt.
4. She moved herself into her new bedroom. I was not ready for her to make the transition yet (the room is not totally ready either). When we bought her “big girl” bedding she wanted nothing else but to play and sleep in her big girl bed. It is sad and exciting at the same time. We have no problems at night or keeping her in the bed or room. She has only fallen out once. Her toddler bed had a little rail but we didn’t put one on the new bed and I was a little nervous that would happen. We are in the process of getting a bedrail but like I said, we can’t really keep her out of there until we get one.
5. This morning I asked her to get pick out a pair of shoes (she LOVES shoes) and put them on so we could leave. She came down stairs and said: “Look at deez (these) shoes Mom, they are booful (beautiful). Aunt Dessi (Jessi) got dem for me”. What a girl.
6. I started Potty Training and then I quit. My MIL (whom I personally think is the child raising encyclopedia) told me she thinks Lucy is ready so I decided to try it. Truth is, I am not ready. I have SO much going on in my mind and in my house right now that I am not 100% committed to doing it because I feel like I have too many things that I am in the middle of. Now that I tried for about a half of a day, I know what to expect and what it will look like for me when I have decided that I am going to do it. I think she is and could be ready… Mommy is not. I’m thinking sometime this summer. Late June or early July.
Ok. Gotta run. I just wanted to get all of this down before my seriously crazy case of “momnesia” forgets all of this fun stuff.
Byeeeeee.
