She’s growing up so fast!
I know it’s totally cliche, but it’s true. Mere weeks after the birthday letter I wrote, Gwen has changed so much!
- She is completely potty trained (!!) and is almost toilet independent - only needs help with wiping and pulling up underwear/shorts/pants. She only wears a cloth diaper to bed, mostly because she spends part of the night with us and we don’t want to be covered in pee. However, she wakes up dry about 90% of the time these days - generally waking us in the night to pee if needed.
- Her sentences and vocabulary are growing by leaps and bounds! She has started saying “pease” and “pank you” with regularity and has picked up on my “oh geez!” when something’s happened
A couple of days ago she said, “Oopsies! Train fall down - I crash it!” - Naptime has become a 5 minute affair - after lunch around 12:30 or 1 PM, we go upstairs, go pee, get changed (if needed), turn on the fan, hop into bed with boy, have a kiss and hug, and then I leave the room and she falls asleep by herself. It’s both amazing and sad all at the same time.
- She can jump! With both feet off the ground at once! So fun!
- She is starting to understand the concept of numbers and counting - when I begin counting and pointing at something, she picks it up and continues, “two … three … nine.” Four and five are currently a mystery
