10 Blips about Laura.

1) Her new words are "Burp" and "Poopy Head". Burp means fart in her world. Poopy head - well, I asked her where she heard that and her response was "JJ" ... meaning CJ from daycare. I wonder if by ignoring it, if she'll stop saying it?

2) She is well on her way to being potty trained. For probably 2 weeks now we've had no accidents if she's been clothing free from the waist down. When we've tried putting underwear on her, she hasn't recognized the need to use the potty and we did have a couple accidents with those. However, this week at daycare, she's done superb with the potty! She's been telling Lynne and Jenna when she has to go - and getting there in time to go and still have a dry diaper. One day, she was even playing in the backyard and made it to the potty inside in time!

3) She will not poo in the potty. She has had some difficulty with hard poo lately - and she now says "butt hurt biaper" when she has to go - so we put a diaper on her. Yes, biaper is diaper.

4) She loves money. She takes the change from my purse and puts it into the change jar. Just last week we spent a few days rolling all our change and she "helped"... when we were all done, she kept saying "More money"... I think we've created a monster!

5) She has started to stay in her bed again! Yay! It only took a couple nights of putting her back to bed repeatedly and she got the message that her bed is where she sleeps. In the mornings, she crawls out of bed usually and comes into the hallways saying "Mommy"... and then shortly later we hear "potty" - which is when we strip her down and she usually goes. ... and then the next words are typically "Get Gup Daddy" ... (Get up daddY!)

6) She is forward facing in the car now. She rode rear facing up until just a couple weeks ago. I don't think she minded rear facing, but Richie did! Her seat made it so his seat couldn't go back far enough. Now I get the back of my seat kicked. Wonderful :P

7) She loves all things girly - shoes, dolls, purses, "tutu", "clip" (hair clips)...

8) She knows where her baby brother is and gives him hugs and kisses everyday. I know she doesn't fully understand, but it's cute to see her talking about him and interacting with him already.

9) She is a chatterbox. Not really shy and everyday has new words. The other day we walked up to Lynne's door and Laura started to pound on it saying "knock"... then we went in and she ran upstairs saying "scuse me" to the girls on the stairs - then ran to Jenna saying "JENNA" ... and then proceeded to tell Jenna that it was raining outside.

10) She still talks about Bill a lot. The other night she said "night mommy. night daddy. Bill home" Silly girl.
