Her vocabulary is growing more and more everyday! She tries to use words and phrases that she hears us say throughout the day. He newest addition is 'so' at the beginning of everything! She keeps telling everyone about the Zoo and every sentence starts with, "so." "So, we saw ostriches, mommy, yittle baby, daddy, an dree. Dree ostriches." Today we were talking with Oma at lunch and Lucy was trying to convince me that we could go to the Zoo again today. She kept saying, 'it not told outside.' "it not nowing, waining, windy!' We tan doe Zoo!" It was pretty cute. Then she'd ask Oma if she wanted to come with us. I wish we could go everyday. But yesterday it was free so we lucked out!
Lucy is also trying to us time. I don't know how long it takes to grasp the concept of time. I know she's far from it. But she is showing interest. Here are some examples of what she does
-whenever she wakes up she will say, 'I watked up dree minutes.' And she'll hold out three fingers (she says this after naps and in the morning).
-when it is time to wake up in the morning she will either tell us it's 7 o'clock or 6:30 - I guess those are the times we talk about the most when we wake up or wake up daddy.
-she'll always go up to the clock in our room and ask what time it is...but no matter what time I tell her it really is she'll always tell me it says 'seven o tocked.'
- She talks about it getting dark at night and sun coming up in the morning
-She loves cop lights. We've seen a few while driving and she always asks if we are going to see 'top yights.'
-She also likes to look for stars. We don't usually drive or go outside at night (it's just too cold). But the first time she noticed the stars she started saying something over and over and over again. After about 10 minutes I finally figured out what she was saying, "stars twinkle at night." I don't know where she came up with it, but she did it all on her own. Now she always wants to look for stars....even in the midd of the day :D
- We always sing in the car. Lately she asks for Circle of Life, from Lion King. So we are usually belting that while driving to get daddy or on our way to the store. It's a lot of fun..and I don't have to be embarrassed because my kids can't tell when I don't quite hit the right note, or when I squeek :)
-She goes back and forth with her sharing, but you know she really likes something -edible- because she'll want to share with everyone. She loves black licorice, it's one of her potty treats (for number 2). And she always asks to share with everyone upstairs whenever she gets it.
-She likes to make sure everyone has everything they need at meal times. This includes salt and pepper on their food, if we're not paying close enough attention.
-She's getting big! And everyday brings something new. She is a gem and I love her. She is also one of my biggest challenges...this is probably more of a lack of my knowing how to be a good parent and stay calm. She's a pretty headstrong little girl, poor thing...she got that from both sides of the family. We're currently working on manners; when to say excuse me, sharing, and saying please, not yelling, you know, all those good important things we will probably be working on for the rest of our lives :)
-She is back and for with the potty training thing. Somedays she will tell me every time and stay dry all day. Other days we go through almost every pair of underwear she has. I'm trying to remind myself that she is only two and will probably continue to have accidents for a while. It's just hard when I know she knows, she just won't tell me...
-So a funny story that I have to write down just because. Whenever Lucy toots (passes gas) I ask her if she has to go potty or if it's just a toot. Almost every time she will say, 'no potty, my bum jus do sdilly, bwaghagh!' Hahahaha! It cracks me up everytime! I have no idea where this came from. But I love it and hope she keeps doing it for a long time :)
She's a kook! She loves to dance (always has), love to play hide and seek, loves to ride on our backs. still loves to read, loves walk, playing with friends, going to church, her nursery leaders, singing at church, wearing cute clothes, wearing ponytails, spending time with her daddy.
That's all for now folks....i've got to get to bed!
I just love these pictures.
Lucy will sleep forever if he holds her. She loves her Daddy so much, and always asks when he is coming home at the end of the day.
we are up for a playdate whenever is best for you! Michael still naps from like 12:30-2:00ish every day, but any other time is good!
