PLay, Play, Play...What A Busy Day

Today Kaylie went to playgroup as usual. We worked on being gentle while greeting other children. Kaylie is so friendly and enthusiastic, yet this can be overwhelming to the 6 month old crowd for example. She also found a "monster" doll with a friendly face and a large nose. She spent a good long time pointing first to her nose, than his, then back to her's again.

Auntie Kim

Today Auntie Kim came over to play with me while Mommy attended the St. Francis Parish Conference and Daddy taught his weapons class at Keith Haftner's karate. We had loads of fun, especially "getting into" all kinds of trouble playing in boxes and ottomans! I love the adventures that arise when Auntie Kim comes over :-)

Cabin Fever

Fussy today. Chewing on toys like mad. Teeth coming in plus diaper rash. We played inside because it's still so cold (15 degrees). We are both getting cabin fever.

Presidential Inauguration 2009

Today I "watched" the Presidential Inauguration of President-Elect Barack Obama and Vice President-Elect Joe Biden and played at the same time. I did not see the swearing-in of the Vice President because Ms. Beth had to change my diaper. I played with my noise-making toys during the Inauguration speech and clapped when Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman played their parts in the quartet. Daddy knows the composer, John Williams, since he is known for his music from "Star Wars". They say that this is a special day in history. All I know is that it is and will be part of my story.

Cold, Cold Snowy Day

Such a cold, cold snowy day. We looked out of the window at the snow and Kaylie played happily indoors. No walk today. Kaylie wanted to "play" the piano more than ever today. In fact, she signed "please" twice for it, and the second time unprompted!! Later Kaylie saw my cell phone and signed "please". I never let her touch it but that moment I made an exception. After a moment I signed "please" and she gave it back immediately with no complaints. Amazing!

Play Group

Kaylie had fun exploring at play group today at the Library. She seemed to display more energy than any other child there. Wow!

Sprouts

This morning Mommy put a clip in my hair. My hair was out of control, but I liked it that way. All I wanted to do was play with my soft, stuffed kitten, the one that Grandma and Grandpa Peters gave me. The clip was out as soon as I could get my hands on it.

Kaylie will play so well independently now. She is much less prone to falling and she is so much more careful with objects than she used to be! Today she cleaned out almost the entire spice cabinet. She continues to say "Yay", "hot", "hat" and "cat". No new words yet, but how quickly she is changing!
