Sara Lately

Sara is such a big girl. My baby is definitely growing up. Here are some examples:

• Today she put on her tennis shoes all by herself, and they were on the right feet. Amazing:)
• Sara to Dad:"I have an owie" D- "where is the owie?" S-"on my head" D-"oh no" S-"it hurts to think". She is so dang funny!
• When coming downstairs and seeing all the laundry on the floor (with a little bit of attitude) "Oh my gosh! What happened here?"
• She is so sneaky. She thinks she can trick us. Especially when we are trying to put her down to sleep.
• She loves to play with her friend Tosh and she also loves to boss him around. He on the other hand is learning early on how to tune girls out:)
• She went thru a fase when we were out and she didn't get her way she would yell out "help me, help me". So we often got a lot of funny looks coming our way.
• Her favorite shows are curious George, umi-zumi, strawberry shortcake and dora.
• She loves to pick out clothes for me in the morning.
• Favorite snack: popcorn (she could and will eat it all day if she could)
• Her vocabulary is growing by the minute. She now speaks in full sentences:)
• Sara now sleeps in our guest bedroom on a queen bed and will not sleep in her toddler bed.
• She loves to help me cook and do the dishes. Well mostly she likes to play with the water:)
• She loves to read books and to color.
• Since getting a purse for Christmas she takes it with her every time we leave the house. Well I now have to make sure to keep it in the car when we go inside stores. WHY you might ask? Well Sara thinks that whatever looks good and she wants she can put in her purse! Oh boy.
• Sara is a very social girl. Anywhere we go she gets compliments on how cute and adorable she is. (even sometimes when she is throwing a fit, not cool!)
• She has learned the art of throwing a fit. Not just whining or crying its screaming, kicking, throwing herself on the floor and saying "NO" with a huge attitude. Timeouts are happening a lot more at our house. Usually when she decides not to take a nap then its bad.
• When we have a good day which is very often! She is a cutie pie. She loves to give hugs and kisses, tells us "I love you!" and is a big helper.
• Whenever she sees a red truck she thinks it Daddy. "Daddy's truck" "Where did Daddy go?"
• Every morning she comes in to our room and when she notices that Daddy is gone she will ask "where is daddy?" even when I answer her she will ask it a couple of times after and during the day:)
• "Mommy where is my phone?" we gave her my old Iphone but she still likes my new one better and will call it "hers." She knows how to use it very well. (she started when she was a year old) She loves to play games on it. They are awesome! She has learned shapes, colors, and loves to do puzzles. It is educational so I don't mind her using it:)
• We tried to start potty training. She will sit on her potty but not use it what it is intended for! She plays on it, she uses it as a step stool or just a toy. We didn't really push it, but thinking of starting it again.

too be continued.... and with pictures:)
