My little one is two years + 3 months now, and she's brilliant. She sits in front of NickJr most of the day, a channel strictly devoted to helping preschoolers (3-4 year-olds) develop, and she is soaking up the information like a sponge. Amongst her simple 2-year vocab she's added: disgusting, fantastic, and amazing. She can count up to 5 all by herself and up to about twenty with some assistance. >.< Colors seem to be eluding her, but we're working on it. Her favorite show as of now is Yo Gabba Gabba!; although she likes Oobi, NiHao Kai-Lan, Go Diego Go, and Dora the Explorer {<-- in order of favorite to least favorite} Her favorite Youtube video is the "Chicken Dance" that was put together by some guy which consists of random pictures of dancing chicken, including a breakdancing "Chicken Little" . She can almost completely dress/undress herself {Not always a good thing. It's because of this weve had many a Streaking Sophia incident}, she can drink out of cups with straws and lids perfectly, and is almost to the point where she can drink out of a lidless cup {again, almost. She still requires a bit of help in that area.} At this point in time, her favorite foods consist of ravioli and almost any kind of pasta, peanut butter straight from the jar on a spoon, and almost anything sweet. She LOVES flavored milk, but will also request juice and/or water. Right now our biggest speedbumps with her are trying to get her off the pacifier {nicknamed "fire" by our Little Miss} and we are trying to get her potty trained.
~* Valentine's Day *~ Fun story, actually. A few days before it, because it occured on a Sunday, I asked if Shadow intended to leave with his DND group as he did on every Sunday. He said yes because he didn't see the point in celebrating when he didn't have the money to get Sophi and I anything. I threw back the fact that he could just stay home and spend time with us, and the arguments just contuinued on until the Saturday before. Shadow and I ended up staying up late watching whatebver movies we could find on HBO {The Chase, House Calls, and Watchmen} We headed to bed where we slept together in both senses of the phrase......Anyway, I regained consciousness at one pm only to find Shadow laying right there with me. I asked him why he hadn't gone to his usual thing and his only response was "Surprise" At this point Mima was trying to get us out of bed telling Shadow if he wanted to leave with her he had to get dressed then. When I asked him about that, he said "That's part of your surprise. You're not allowed to know" With that, they left and I cleaned the room in between taking care of Sophia. About 4 hours later they return home with Subway for dinner, a rare thing at that house. We had to rouse Sophi from a nap she'd decided to take at the worst possible time, but after Daddy presented her with her first gift- a ladybug "lovebug" plush about as big as she was- she was awake to see what else happened. She also got 4 ounces of scented bubbles and an Ariel card {"The Little Mermaid" is consistently her favorite movie.} She stole the plush monkey of mine >.< I also received house slippers with grps on the bottom so I can wear them around the house to keep my feet clean and warm without worrying about sliding around on the tile. The're white and fuzzy. On the right foot it says "Smooch" in red and on the left there are two pairs of red lips. There was no card for me, though I did get an 8 inch heart-shaped cookie with the words "Sorry Baby" iced across it to apologize for being a jerk the week before. All in all, just another great holiday for me and my babies xD heart
