21 Months (Dec/Jan)

This month has been so funny.

First- nap and bath are back!!!!!! Hallelujah. Thank you Lord.

We got an amazing tip from friends for bath time… candle lit baths! The tub is surrounded by flickering (fake) candles, and the meditation music plays softly. She loves it!!! After bath, we make our way to her room for bedtime routine with the lights low and by the time she's in her pi's she's begging to go to sleep.

It's a miracle!!

This month is also the naked month. You will see lots of pictures of her below without clothes. This is her choice. If she had it her way, she would be naked and shoe-less all day. To get her dressed to leave the house is a such process! Oy.

FAVORITE TOYS

Her favorite favorite toys, by far, are her figurine dolls and her doll house. She wakes up in the morning and runs to her dollhouse saying, "good morning toys!"

She plays with them for an hour- easily. Before breakfast, before water, before anything. 

And this play happens a few times a day. 

FUNNY STORIES

I call Mike "Babe"-- apparently, a lot, because she is now calling him "Babe" when she needs something!

"Babe?! Milk."  "Babe?! Where are you Babe?"

On Jan. 1st, she read her favorite nite nite book to me (Goodnight Gorilla) cover to cover, "reading" each page, and said "the end" as she closed the book. 

Naked kid on the loose.

The princesses accompanies us to breakfast.

Early morning doll house play
