I'm not sure why I haven't posted much this summer. Every day there are things that I tell myself I want to write about so I'll always remember them, but I rarely use the laptop anymore and Isla frequently tells me to put my phone down so I often can't finish a thought. I have been reading quite a bit on my Kindle app on my phone. I've downloaded a bunch of free book and found a few writers that I like who have other books available that are cheap.
But updates on our little girl:
We got an "Ages and Stages" report from daycare this week. She lost points for not pulling up pants by herself and for not putting on a shirt by herself. The next day I came out of the shower and Daddy had her shirt on backwards so I'm not terribly concerned about that one. We were both amused that the sentence example they documented was "There is Ashlee" when that night she was rattling off 8 and 9 word sentences all night. She's using a lot of adjectives and of prepositional phrases to expand her sentences. She does pretty well with pronouns too but uses him and her instead of he and she.
Sleeping has been going okay--she doesn't usually sleep all the way through the night, but waking just once is a major victory! Last night she woke up yelling "MILK!" Daddy took her some milk and she drank the entire cup and went right back to sleep. She doesn't usually get up from bed on her own when she wakes in the morning, but she is starting to do it sometimes.
J spent Tuesdays with us this summer. This week at naptime when I told her it was time for nap, she said "J doesn't take a nap." I told her he'd take one on the couch. "Then I don't want to sleep in my room." She ended up napping on my bed.
She can count to 14 on her own and to 8 in Spanish. The one item/one number skill is developing. So are basic math concepts--she's starting to understand that if I have one hat and she has two hats, there are three hats total.
OK, perhaps the hats that are being piled on my head and laptop and the picnic basket and tea set on my legs sat this moment are the reasons I haven't updated recently.
She's interested in birthdays these days--of course it is birthday season in my family. She was looking at a birthday card in the car this week and told me we need to get one for A and R. Then she told Daddy that we need to get A and R presents. I got a cute little video of her singing Happy Birthday to PopPop last week. We'll see what she does this weekend when we have two birthday parties on Saturday!
I'm getting piled up with picnic supplies. Guess I gotta go.
