things i think i will always remember, but probably won't::: when she runs, she bounds. she's trying to run and jump at the same time. is that the definition of skipping? Little adds windmill arms. she can't contain her joy.
:: 3 days a week she goes to play school for a couple hours in the morning. this is actually a day care about 6 houses down the street from us, but i call it play school to make it sound more fun for both of us. either it will help ease her separation anxiety or have the opposite effect. going to pick her up is my favorite part of the day.**
:: loves to jump and can do so now--triumphantly--with both feet.
:: we started writing down the words she knows and stopped counting at 250. she's starting to speak in short sentences (usually: where did max go? where ruby go? where's janebird?). she has a lisp.
:: starting to have more trouble going to sleep at night. she wants "more more jumping!" with dad.
:: entranced by butterflies, caterpillars, penguins, babies, doggies, kitties, rhinos and stars. wants these drawn for her on paper (or shown to her on the computer) often throughout the day. the rhino is a challenge but bim draws a great elephant.
:: favorite songs: itsy bitsy spider, ABCs, pat-a-cake, and the one where the monkey gets drunk and sits on the elephant's trunk. she likes the end the best (the end of the monk, the monk, the monk) and asks for "more more monk!"
**don't feel too sorry for her. today they gave her a beach ball. that's a good substitute for a mother's love.

Oh, I want one! Too bad I'm not righteous enough to immaculately conceive!
Beautiful mother-love post. Such a wonderful time in life.
You make me excited to be a mom for a little girl! Sean has an excellent talent for drawing...NOTED!
I can't wait too hug that little one next week!! Lyza makes us draw circles, all the time circles, or happy sunshines. New favorite word: circlemommy. She says this to everyone as she hands them a crayon and shoves a color book in their faces. Too fun.
