Janie turned 33 months old today and she’s just 3 months away from turning 3. Crazy. This was the only photo I could get of her with Ducky. You would like she would get more cooperative as she gets older but that’s not the case.
This month has been filled with language, funny sayings, and lots of holiday fun. Here’s a recap:
- Language: “I don’t like ___.” “Just a little bit” “NO NO NO NEVER!” “Do you like this song?” “It’s not Christmas anymore.” “I’m not a baby. I’m a big girl.” “I’m not a bear. I’m a monkey.”
- This month’s songs and books: Muffin Man, Slippery Fish, Press Here, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, “Buenos Dias”
- Travel: Janie flew to Puerto Vallarta and used her passport for the first time. She loved playing in the pool and in the sand.
- Disneyland: This was the best year yet because she recognized characters and enjoyed most of the rides.
- Christmas: Janie got a bunch of presents and had a good time unwrapping them all.
- Favorites: straws, tea party and “swimming” in the bathtub, playing in the pool, “painting” in her new book.
- Fine Motor: Janie learned how to use scissors and loved it.
- New foods: almonds, dried cranberries, and raisins. These were her “special treats” for the plane ride to Mexico.
- Gross Motor: Janie likes slides and braved some really tall tube slides this month. She’s also getting much more comfortable in the pool and will walk around in the shallow areas with the water up to her chin.
- Chores: putting her dirty clothes in the hamper, putting her shoes away, folding dish towels, feeding the fish with Daddy, watering the plants, putting toys and clean clothes away.
What a fun and eventful month! Happy 33 Months, Big Girl!
