Sky turned twenty-two months old today!
She's becoming quite the little girl. She's smart, she's attentive, she's friendly, she's outgoing, she's assertive (very assertive), she's confident, and she's quite the joke-ster.
I have to admit, the tables are completely turned around now on Aiden. It is now Sky that terrorizes, Aiden and not the other way around like it used to be. Aiden will be quietly playing on his train table or reading a book and Sky will walk over and grab whatever is in his hand just to get a raise out of him. As soon as Aiden squeals and I intervene she runs off giggling and throws whatever she took from to discard the evidence.
Yesterday an argument ensued between Aiden and Sky over ice cream. Sky had indicated that she was finished with her ice cream and before Grandma could pick up the bowl, Aiden volunteered to finish it off for her. For the sake of sibling rivalry alone, Sky protested and demanded her unwanted ice cream back. Just as Aiden handed the bowl back to her, Sky grabed and pulled the bowl and spilled it all over Aiden, herself, and the floor. Reflexively, Grandma grabbed a wet towel and immediately started cleaning up the mess. Aiden ran off to the other room upset at the situation but Sky stayed and watched Grandma clean up the ice cream. Well, Grandma must have had a frustrated or disappointed look on her face because Sky kept asking "You mad, Grandma? You mad?" Grandma replied back a couple of times, "no Sky, I'm just cleaning up the mess." Not convinced, Sky was walking circles around Grandma cleaning the floor "Granmda, you mad? Your face is mad, Grandma".
Sky: I pooping, Mommy.
Me: Good! I'm glad you're pooping in the potty.
Sky: I need pri-sa-cy (privacy).
Me: Okay, let me close the door.
Sky: Sigh. Oh! I tooted.
Me: That's okay, you're on the potty.
Sky: Starfish! (pointing to the picture of a starfish on the bathroom wall)
Me: Right. And what's that? (pointing to the picture of an octopus)
Sky: Oco-pus
Me: Right! Where does an octopus live? (totally random, unrehersed question)
Sky: At the beach!
Me: Yes, they live in the water; in the ocean.
Sky: Ocean? Fish sleeps in ocean too.
Me: Right. You are very smart, Sky.
Sky: Pee yoo! I smell a stinky.
Me: You do? What is it?
Sky: My poop! See? See? (as she stands up and points proudly to the potty)
Me: Very good. Are you finished?
Sky: No, Mommy...more poop coming. (red faced and pushing)
Me: Okay, keep going and finish up.
Sky: I need toilet paper.
Me: Okay, you finish up and I'll help you clean up.
Sky: No, I need toilet paper for nose.
Me: You need to blow you're nose?
Sky: Yeah. I need to blow my nose.
Sky: No Ai-DEN! I need pri-sa-cy! (as she yells at Aiden who just opened the bathroom door)
She is now wearing underwear fulltime (except at night when she's sleeping). She hasn't had an accident in over five weeks. Yahoo!! She can put on her own underwear, pants/shorts, and jacket/sweatshirt.
She loves bath time but recently she's decide that she suddenly does not like water in her face. Great timing Sky...the pool opens this week!
She is still goes to the gym for toddler gymnastics and she LOVES it. Every morning the first thing she asks is if it's gym day.
She loves the show "The Wonder Pets" and she can sing the theme song...she even does the beginning part by mimicking the sound a telephone ringing.
Oh my Goodness, Sky!! I can not believe how quickly you are growing up. Congratulations on the potty training, I know your Mommy is very proud of you. When my friend, Jenna comes to my house to visit-she is one month younger than you, she loves the Wonder Pets too. We always put the NOGGIN channel on for her because she doesn't have cable at her house. She calls me "Nana Sharon" because she doesn't have a grandmother so I get to play grandma with her. I love visiting with her and I know that I look forward to the day that I will feel well enough when you are in Roanoke for a visit with Nana Beth and Bobba Steve to meet you face to face.
ReplyDeleteGreat work you are doing and you are a very, very LOVED little girl.
Sky you are a potty princess...way to go girl!
ReplyDeleteWe ladies DO like privacy in the bathroom but rarely get it.
You can do so many things yourself too I know how proud you must be. Trust me, everyone who has changed your diapers and your brother's over the years is VERY excited that you cn do it on your own now. Whew!
Grandma loves it when you and your brother share but, knocking things and spilling ice cream isn't nice and isn't fun to clean up. I'm sure Grandma's face got back to normal once the mess was up. You are too neat to be messy. And ice cream is one of my personal favorites, I need to enjoy every spoonful. Let's share some the next time I come.
xxxooo Nana Beth
