Counting

The other night I seemed to catch everyone off guard by counting to ten. Well, I almost did. I made it to five with no problem. then I alternated the rest up to 10. Last night I counted to 13 and Mom and Dad were again impressed. I mean, its not like I was doing geometry or something!

First PRogress Report

I got my 1st progress report from my pre-school this Monday. I think I did OK. I got mostly Exceeds and a few Meets Expectations. Dad says he won't make me go for tutoring, which is a relief!

I'm still putting a lot of new sentences together which is helping me get what I want. Some of my favorites are:

"I need help" I say this when I can't get up on something or out of my high chair, or when I get stuck climbing all over my table and chair set. The other day I was climbing onto my table and slipped back down between the backrest and seat of one of the chairs.

"Come on Da-Da, let's get ice cream." OK, I still have trouble with each word. Honestly, it sounds more like "cuh mon da-da, leh geh i keem" but everyone seems to get the point.

"Go away John"
"Hi Ezzy", "Hi Tobey" ("hi ed-die, hi toe-bee")

I'm also practicing my growl voice a lot. Everyone chuckles when I say "tob-bee" in a growl voice.

They also seem to get a big kick out of my different camera faces such as "happy face", "sad face", etc.

Today is a snow day so me, mom, and the big kids are at home. Even though only about an inch of snow fell, the roads are real slick with black ice. Dad is thrilled that we'll have a houseful of kids with wet feet tromping in and out all day.

 

It was pajama day at school today! Mommy dressed me in my favorites.

The other day I suddenly blurted out "Ernie fell down" when my Ernie doll fell off the table.

The shape of things

Yesterday I figured out how to put my shaped blocks through matching cutouts. I have this set of pots and pans and the lid has the cutouts for the blocks. There are circular, triangular, and square blocks. I don't know why I didn't figure this out sooner!

Right now my favorite book is called "Color Carnival" and it features Elmo and his friends. I can identify each friend by name including Zoey, Abby Kadabby, Rosita and Telly. The book also has Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Ernie. I can also name most of the colors of each friend. For example, I know Elmo is red, Zoey is orange, and Grover is blue.

This reading thing isn't so hard!

19 months, 8 days today

This morning I ate a bowl of cheerios all by myself. That's with milk and a spoon!

I think my favorite food that I can eat by myself is white rice. The stickier the better! I love it when my parents get chinese takeout. I like fried rice too, but not as much.

Yesterday I continued my exploration of two word sentences including: "Daddy home" and "no mine!"

This morning I went to my room, picked up the basket of clean diapers, and brought them down the hall to Daddy. I held up the basket and told him "poo-poo." Daddy was relieved to discover I only had a diaper full of "pee-pee" instead. Oh well, how was I to know? This toilet training thing will be fun!
