These days are SO MUCH FUN! Seriously. We have a blast.
You wake up in the morning either as baby Grace (from Little House on the Prairie) or baby Cece (from Doc McStuffins) and want to be called that name until you let us know you are now Beezus and you're 7 years old. Nothing else in your day changes based on who you are, it's just the name you want to be called. But you do also love playing pretend and will play family all day, loving being a mommy or a big sister to your dolls and loving switching their outfits and changing their diapers.
The next thing you want to know is "what is our day today?" This is while we are still in bed, you just want to get a sense of the lay of the land. You are almost always happy with whatever the day is, you just want to know. If it's raining, you say you love rainy days. If it's sunny and cold, you say you love that. If it's sunny and warm, you an't wait to go to the playground. You are truly easygoing about nearly everything. (Except of course if I call you by the wrong name of who you are pretending to be!)
You sing all the time when no one is watching. If you're playing by yourself, or riding in the stroller, you are singing to yourself. Sometimes they're songs we know, sometimes you're narrating your activities with a tune.
You have cute little vocal tics, too, like saying "yes I mam" and "bumbrella" for umbrella. You also often say "y" instead of "l" so in the middle of the day it's time for yunch and your sister is Eee Yie Za
In the past couple of weeks you've turned a corner on your scooting ability and now you love to scoot to the playground or the train or to pick up your sister at school. Usually you need a break once or twice in the course of every 10 minutes or so, but once you get back on: ZOOM.
You've been doing Brooklyn Nature Days for about 6 months now and you love it. Sometimes you say it's boring, but you always are happy to go and tell me all about it all week. I think the "boring" parts are just the being in nature parts, which is actually quite lovely
In addition to playing outside, you love going to the Y for indoor playground, Child Watch and arts & crafts. You love playing at home, cooking in your kitchen, coloring cards for your Nature Days teachers, dressing up and finding a cozy place to play pretend.
window sill tea party for lots of your guys
You also LOVE reading books and are very happy snuggling on the couch reading book after book. Right now your favorites are the Llama Llama books and the Sandra Boyton collection. Though you really enjoyed listening along with the Little House and Ramona Quimby books, too.
We are loving watching you grow and learn and become more and more of yourself.
