I can’t believe I haven’t written anything here in a while. I am just sitting down after a phone interview (that went incredibly well) to go over the things I need to do. Forget that. I’m going to talk to you. I hope you’ve been keeping up with the pictures of Julia on Flickr, because that’s really all I’ve had time to do lately. I figured that when the kid turned into a toddler, she wouldn’t need CONTANT attention. As it turns out, I was wrong. Mummy! Mummy, color! Mummy, draw flower. Draw poops! Draw green bad wolf! Baby go outside! Blow bubbles! Playground! Mall! Ride the black horsies!
It. Never. Stops. Between her, my pole dancing classes, and applying for jobs, I barely have time to cook dinner. We managed to have time to thrown a big party this past weekend where we taught everyone to make their own sushi. It was very yummy.
Julia is almost 2. She is amazing. She can count to 14 all by herself now. Apparently, some daycares don’t bother teaching kids to count to 20 until they’re 4. FOUR. ????? I don’t get it either. She knows all of her shapes and colors, can sing half of the alphabet and can identify most letters of the alphabet. Her favorite show ever is Little Einsteins. (Happy, Erica?) She LOVES to play instruments and sing and color. She really blows me away with how advanced her speech is. She knows what the color INDIGO is.
We’ve begun potty training. Or at least, we did it for a week and are currently on hiatus. She’s managed to put her pee in the potty once, but then, one day, she kept freaking out when I put her on the potty. Since that day, we’ve been taking a break. I’ll try again this weekend I suppose.
Hopefully, I’ll get a job soon. It’s time for Julia to go to school and make friends. At school, she’ll learn to paint and cook and all kinds of things. I am completely running out of mommy-steam. I miss being around other adults, applying my trade. I’m ready for work.
Ok, time to get back to that to-do list. Oh, and maybe eat lunch. Until who knows when!
