"Watch This Mama"

“Watch this Mama” is just one of the new sentences Elsie has been using this week to get my attention. As you can see from the pictures she’s usually doing something I’d rather not watch her do when she says this. Climbing on the table, up onto her booster chair, over the couch…in general just climbing like crazy. This is something new for our typically cautious daughter.

Here are a few other things Elsie has learned to do this week..

* She kisses and hugs the slide good-bye when we leave the park.
* We made cookies and before we enjoyed our tasty treat she looked at me and said “cheers!” So we did cheers with our cookies.

After one week at home full-time with my toddler here are a few things I’ve learned…
· Always put the milk into the bowl first then the cereal. It took me a few mornings full of tears to figure this one out.
· There’s no limit to the amount of times I can read Knuffle Bunny to Elsie.
