Although sometimes it's hard to believe that it's been two years ago that God blessed Jeff and I with the most amazing and precious gift. It's days like we've had recently that remind me she is no longer a baby.
For one she has started learning to count at daycare, and can count from 1-6 on her own. Then she usually skips straight to 9 from there. Tonight she started counting and was pointing to each of her fingers as she did so! She's so smart!
She's also learning letters. Some she actually gets right most of the time. P, Y, W, O are a few.
She transitioned to the 2 year old class at daycare 2 weeks ago today. And literally required ZERO transition time. Normally they give two weeks of part time in each class to get used to the new room. She went up one day and was doing so well they let her stay and hasn't gone back since, much to the disappointment of her first teachers. She learned all of the names of her new classmates within the first week. And her new teachers are constantly telling me "she is SO smart!".
With the move up to the big girl room she gets the opportunity to use a potty. While she has tried a few times at home she hasn't been terribly interested in it. But now with other kids doing it all day, she wants to know what all the fuss is about. So she has started trying on the potty at school once a day. They let her try as often as she asks, or they ask if she wants to try. So far it's just once a day.
She has NOT transitioned to a toddler bed, apparently it's just not time for that yet. But it will come in it's own time I'm sure.
Another clue that my sweetheart is growing up... She turns to me while in the bath, asks me to "Open it?" On her empty bottle of shampoo for playing. After opening said bottle she turns to me and says "Thank... You... Momma." Then offered me a kiss on the mouth. :)
She really is growing up fast, some days I feel like I can hardly keep up. But she fills my heart with so much love some days I feel as though I could burst. Then there's the days when she pushes me to the edge of disaster... But somehow i forget about all that disaster stuff the second she giggles or offers kisses, or any other sweet thing. :) I am so very blessed!!
