Evie celebrated her 17th on Friday. Here's the update...
A few of Evie's latest tricks include:
- Stringing together mini-sentences. There’s not a word Evie won’t try and she’s now piecing them together 2-3 at a time. My personal favorite, used when she would rather have her dad help her with something than her mom, is “momma no, dada”.
- Going potty on the potty. We’re still months away from ditching the diaper, but at least once daily Evie will say “potty”, point to her little toilet… and actually go!
- Drinking from an open cup, using utensils and going to bed without a bottle. While these may not sound all that impressive, they were “requirements” in Evie’s new school that she/we weren’t 100% prepared for… but after a mini boot camp and some tough love, E’s got ‘em all down.
- “Go-Go” (GoGurt), “Bob” (SpongeBob SquarePants) and “App-Sa” (apple sauce). Evs demands each at least once daily.
- Coloring / drawing outside with her sidewalk chalk or inside on her little easel with markers.
- Picture slideshows. We showed E some pics on our Picasa site one afternoon and ever since, anytime one of us cracks open our laptops she sprints over and insists on a show (saying “pitch-a, pitch-a” while simultaneously signing “please”)
