"Little One" seems to be able to understand and follow directions better. Mama has designated "Little One" as the one to put away the baby wipes container after each diaper change. She has been doing it consistently when asked. Another example is when Mama took her on her first Easter Egg Hunt. Mama explained that the eggs should be placed into her basket once the Easter Bunny says that they can go pick up the eggs. She amazed Mama by picking up 12 eggs.
The following are photos from this month:
1. She saw Dada raking/sweeping up the leaves in our front yard. She wanted to help as you can see....
We need to find a smaller broom so she can start helping Dada with the yardwork. hehehe...2. She loves to get piggyback rides. If "Little One" sees the opportunity to get on either Mama or Dada's back, she'll do it.
3. In the following 3 photos, she's sharing her ride with her "friends." We have names for her dolls and stuffed animals and she has also started to call them by those names....
4. "Little One" still enjoys playing ball. She likes to throw, toss, kick, catch, and chase after the balls. Her favorite ball is this purple one. When we play together, she'll give Mama the "Sponge Bob" ball and keep the purple one for herself.
5. Mama & Dada are preparing to potty train "Little One". We're trying to familarize "Little One" about "pee pee," "poo poo," and the "potty."
(A) In this photo, Dada is reading a book called, "Everyone Poops" written by Taro Gomi and Amanda Mayer Stinchecum. She enjoys the illustrations.
(B) "Little One" is learning to sit on her potty chair. We also have a Dora The Explorer Toilet Ring to add onto the big toilet.
This previous Saturday evening, Mama had "Little One" sitting on top of the Dora The Explorer potty ring. "Little One" tinkled into the toilet but became scared once she heard the tinkle sound from the toilet. We hope she'll be more comfortable with the toilet by the time we start potty training her.6. These two photos are of "Little One" riding around the block on her tricycle. The last time we strolled around the block, she was fairly good about staying on her bike, but sometimes she does want to get off to help push her bike. "Little One" will tell Mama or Dada to sit on her bike so that she can be the one pushing the bike. She just doesn't realize that Mama and Dada are too big to fit on the bike. hehehe....
