It’s been awhile. Sorry about that. I’ve been sick and busy and all kinds of things.
It’s snowed last night and right now Julia is pointing at the bag in Joe’s hand saying ‘fwench fwies! Chicken! Hungry! Eat it!” We’re teaching her letters and numbers right now. She can count to ten with coaching and then she throws 18, 19, 20 onto the end. Just for good measure, I guess. I don’t know where she learned her teens, we didn’t teach her. Maybe Sesame Street did.
She’s 1.75 years old and can count a little, answer the TV questions accurately (you know, when kid shows ask you questions and pause waiting for an answer?) She LOVES Little Einsteins, Imagination Movers, Handy Manny and can rattle off lists of the characters randomly. Sometimes I feel guilty that she knows so many TV shows, but she’s super smart and still runs me ragged, so I’m not worried about it stunting her development.
Julia REALLY wants to wear underwear, but she REALLY doesn’t want to learn to use the potty, so we have bullfits when mommy says she can’t wear underpants. She speaks in full sentences and is just starting to refer to herself as “I” instead of “baby.”
I taught her how to go shoe shopping this weekend. It was very cute. Alright, time for lunch. Here’s a photo I haven’t uploaded to Flickr:
