Dear Friends and Family,
P has indisputably convinced us, make no mistake, we have a toddler in the house.
She comes to up and puts up her arms if she wants to be picked up. She arches her back and wiggles out of our grasp if she doesn't want to be picked up. She points and grunts to let us know where she wants to go and if she wants something. She throws a temper tantrum if she doesn't get her way. Yes, we have a toddler in the house.
For all that, she's still a joy to have. She smiles and laughs when we smile and laugh. She runs to you if she's happy to see you. She "reads" books to herself and babbles on end. And, she calms herself down (in seconds) when it's obvious she's not going to get her way. Yes, we have a toddler in the house.
Our weekend with our toddler was a flurry of activity.
Saturday, we went to the market for frites and Vietnamese sandwiches. Then, we headed to the Air and Water Show. Through some freak of scheduling we arrived just in time to see all of the jumpers (who normally go in the morning and midday) and the Blue Angels who close the show. Guess it must have been windy in the morning. P had an hour and half nap in my arms and woke just in time to see the Blue Angels.
Saturday night, she fell asleep after reading to herself in her crib.
Sunday, we met up with friends for brunch. Then, we went for a walk to the grocery store. We stopped off in a toy store on the way back. P found a set of blocks she has and pointed to her favorite monkey block. At least she's consistent.
I got a manicure. Then, our friend from Hotlanta came over for dinner. P gorged on beans and pasta before guzzling down her milk. She fell asleep in our bed. And, woke later in her crib. She read a little while sitting on the floor with Mr. mouse and then tried to poop with no success before falling back asleep. I felt so bad for her, but obviously not bad enough to protect her privacy.
And, now it's Monday.
Cheers!
