Good news: Our little one has gone back to taking one nap a day again. Before Christmas when she was sick she started waking up really early because of her stuffy nose and then needed a morning nap. This kind of stuck all through the Christmas season. This week we were out one morning and she didn't get a morning nap, and did just fine. The nap she did get was longer and she was happy the rest of the day. This means I can be gone in the mornings and not have to worry about getting back in time for a nap. Another added bonus is that because she's only getting one nap, she's sleeping in later in the mornings! Yippee!
Bad news: Only one nap means only one time a day to myself to get things done.
Good news: She continues to love her bathtub letters and knows T, O, S, and A. She even recognizes them on her leap frog caterpillar.
Bad news: I've searched all over town this week for magnetic letters for the refrigerator. Who knew they were so hard to find!? I found a set at the teacher store but they wanted an arm and a leg for them. I looked on ebay and have a few that I'm watching, so maybe I'll get some soon. But by that time her fascination with letters could be gone.
Good news: She's so fun to communicate with these days. When you ask her a question she almost always answers with, "ohhh-kie," which is her version of "okay."
Bad news: This only works if it's something she wants...."Do you want some milk?" "Ohhh-kie." "Would you like to watch The Wiggles?" "Ohhh-kie." "Are you ready to go nigh-night?" Silence..... It doesn't work like a charm, unfortunately.
Good news: Today she ate pizza, yogurt, graham crackers (LOTS of graham crackers), apple, french toast sticks, cheerios.... that's a lot of food for her in one day.
Bad news: Today she ate pizza, yogurt, graham crackers (LOTS of graham crackers), apple, french toast sticks, cheerios.... that's a lot of carbs in one day, very little fruit, and NO vegetables! She's been pickier than normal these days. I'm lucky if I can get her to eat anything.
Good news: Her cold and cough are getting better.
Bad news: Her nose is running like a faucet as she gets rid of everything. Her little nose is raw and red underneath from Mommy wiping it so much.
Good news: She's in bed, Daddy's gone for the night (at the middle school lock in at our church--there's nowhere on earth I would rather NOT be!), and I have the whole evening to myself!
Bad news: Daddy will come home in the morning very tired and want to sleep most of the day.
Good news: He loves it and will come home happy, though tired.

Katy's been fascinated with letters recently, too, because of an alphasbet puzzle she got for Christmas. I have been looking for the Leap Frog fridge phonics - have you seen it? It says the name of the letter and the sound when you put it in the base. She really likes her fridge farm, so I thought she would like this, too, but it's $15, so I am looking to see if I can find a used set. But so far...no luck.
Yeah, I've seen it, and have planned on getting it for her for her birthday in April. I'm hoping to find some regular letters to tide her over until then. I guess I may just have to get it early!
when she turns 2, she can eat those gummy vitamins!!! that'll help the lack of veggies :)
if you're still looking for letters, let me know... I have a ton I'll send you :) we got them as a hand me down and we don't use them so much. it's a spanish version so there are n's with "~" over them!!!
