raise my daughter well

Made her a manners chart. She is struggling through the twos right now. Lord, give me patience.

She learned the signs for tree, please, and milk today.

Add that to elephant, mouse, chicken and thank you. I think she has had a very good week of learning and she is having a great time with it too!

Before her nap, she sang along with me to Frosty The Snowman. This was the first time she sang it with someone. It was so cute the way she’d take a quick breath in to sing the next line. When Ship looked at us singing and smiled at her she became shy and hid in my shirt. Poor thing, she sure has spunk!

Even with no nap (Parental units at fault here) the wee babe did just fine today. At dinner time she didn’t eat much and she started to nod off in her chair so, I had her “Hopper” brought up so she could hop while singing Frosty The Snowman (her favorite song and mine too).
Bed time went off without a hitch! What a good girl we have!

She is two! She talks like she is 10. I swear! Right now she is playing her Leapfrog My First Computer Backyardinags number pie game. While waiting for Daddy to take her to the library.

She is in love with reading, snowmen, trains, airplanes, lawnmowers, robots, Wizard of Oz, and her bunny she calls Pippin. She is almost fully potty trained. Still working on the overnights.

I am in love with everything about her.

I’m happy she is a part of our family!

..BUT,..
She learned how to Wave and say HI today. It is adorable of course.
She keeps waving and laughing and saying Hi Hi Hi to everyone. She is 9 months.

Today was difficult. I wonder if im doing the right things because every time she looks at me she cries but when she looks at others in the house she SMILES big time.
