DCD is awesome!

Daycare Debbie told me this afternoon 'lil Miss sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". The 3 Little Ladies were singing songs just before 'lil Miss had her snack. While she snacked on some cheese and crackers, the other 2 girls were singing and playing at the table. Miss was all quiet and watching and then, when everyone was quiet for a moment, my smart 'lil Miss started singing! DCD and her oldest looked at each other in amazement and disbelief as they realized what she was singing.

Miss is learning all kinds of new things. Very recently she said, and signed, "thank you." She's learning manners!! She also signs and says "cheese" and "shoes", although, many times her "sign" just looks like "more".

Last night after I laid her down for bed I heard her practicing names. I heard "em-E" and "O-mA", "O-pA", "da-DY" and "pop-PA". She still often talks and sings before she falls asleep.

On our way home today we visited my dear dear friend Linda. She played nicely with her cell phone (thank you Oma!) and a pad of paper while I had a little visit. What a good girl! Later, Linda's kitty came out of the back bedroom and 'lil Miss was SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT KITTY!! I asked her to "sit on your bottom, please" and to my surprise, she immediately did. She used gentle touch and quietly (for a 1 year old) held out her hand for kitty to smell. A little later, Linda's mom served us a piece of pie and gave me a little plastic cup of water. It was the perfect size. 'lil Miss was SO thirsty! She needed more and more and, "Hey! I'll just do it myself" she finally insisted. So I let her try and she picked the cup off of the table and put it to her lips and drank ALL BY HERSELF!

Daycare Debbie is awesome!
