I have not done a update since Z turned 2! Having a toddler makes like such a whirlwind, sometimes it seems she is becoming so well adjusted to our routines and we can be in a great groove. Sometimes I almost pull my hair out. I know that can change depending on the stage of toddlerhood.
She is still the joy in my life & it is worth the tough days :)
Z recognizes colors, even though she only says "yellow". We have a toy that helps you match colors and shapes and she loves to get them right.
Since Z is learning more words, she uses them more often than crying. It is such a relief. She may not always like what I say, especially when it comes to candy but it is so wonderful to have little talks with a toddler. It amazes me how much she understands.
Z loves to brush my hair and sometimes loves when I brush hers (just not in the morning). Speaking of her hair, it is usually a mess. I can hardly find the energy to start the battle it takes to do pig tails or a pony tail. Please send hair help.
Her favorite songs are 1. Wheels on the Bus. She calls it "roun and roun" with arm motions.
2. "La La Lou". I have no idea what it's called- the song Darling sings to her baby in Lady and the Tramp. I don't know what it is, but I find that movie annoying.
3. Take you to Rio.
4. The alphabet tune
5. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
5. We have a shared favorite- Train song my Charlie Hope
She has strong opinions on which sippy cup she uses for milk. It must be the ladybug (ma- bleah) or the Minnie mouse (ma- haha). ma='s milk.
Z gets invested in movies and will exclaim "oh NO!" during an exciting chase or moment in a movie.
She is not shy about telling me "shh" when she wants me to be quiet. & she asks for help in the sweetest little voice "help, mama" or "I need help".
She loves her school and exclaims, "yay!" when we pull up.
The sweet tooth on this girl is unreal. I try really hard to avoid candy. Even giving Zara a small piece can start a war. She always wants more or wants an entire bag.
She follows along with her ABC's, even though only a few letters are clear. & she is so good at counting but says every number as "two".
Zara is affectionate, goofy, she is a trickster, she loves to hide, she loves to pretend to be a cat or a dog. She also loves to treat me like a cat or dog and pull me around the house and bring me water.
Sometime she says "I wanna dance". Of course, I drop everything and play some music because it is very, very cute.
We have tried some pacifier boundaries. It's hard.
But there is light when it comes to her eating habits! She is trying and liking more things. I am proud of her. & it helps me with the anxiety I have over her nutrition.
Zara hugs me tight and I love it.
She is full of goodness and greatness.
