Molly is learning new things every day. In fact, Anna at daycare asked me today if I was teaching her to read (already!?) since Molly picked up a sippy cup and stared at it, "reading" the name on it, put it down and found hers. I guess she can recognize her name now. cool.
Anna also mentioned that they played with the nature cards today. As Anna was talking about the different pictures, Molly was picking up the card she was talking about and giving it to her. The fish, ocean, and crab are her favorite cards at home.
Anna also commented that she will be ready to potty train soon. we have been noticing that she says "pee" at random times and we figure that is what she is doing. she will also squat down when she goes "pee" sometimes. The last few days, she will randomly (well, randomly to us) go over to the blanket we change her on and will pull it on the floor or go to her room and point at the diapers. I still think she is a little young. Everything I have read says to wait until after 18 months or it will take longer to potty train than if you had waited to start. I also don't think I am ready for potty training. Don't get me wrong would love to not change diapers anymore but .......oh this could be a long journey. i'm not ready for my baby to be a kid.
She no longer likes to snuggle before nap or bedtime. The routine went like this: she picks out 2 stories to read, snuggle, lay her down almost asleep. now it is story-usually 2 sometimes she skips the 2nd, she points at her crib and grabs her blanket, slides off my lap and walks to the crib. I love that she is able to put herself to bed but I MISS my snuggles. Again, mommy's not ready. Notice the trend....Molly's growing up faster than I'm ready.
So this leads us to the newest thing she is learning......to blow her own nose. wow-how nasty! She will use anything!!! I thought she was going to help fold laundry (using help loosely) but she grabbed a washcloth and started blowing her nose. I gave her a tissue and took the washcloth, explaining we use a tissue not our bibs, blankets, washclothes. She used the tissue, walked over to the trash, threw it out, went back to the laundry basket and got another washcloth to blow her nose again. Using a tissue is entertaining to watch. she balls it up and rotates it as she keeps blowing. Needless to say, snot everywhere. sorry if too much detail but welcome to my day. i am hopeful our cold (yes we all have a cold now) will be gone quickly.
Feel free to post title suggestions or any potty training suggestions.
