G is for guilty

G is for guilty.

As in, Mommy is feeling guilty for not being super attentive to this blog and keeping everyone updated on the delicious child that we know and love.

I just haven't been feeling the creative vibe lately.

But, here's a recap of what we've been up to the past couple of weeks:

She's had another major speech explosion and besides her crazy huge vocabulary, she is also speaking in short sentences most of the time. She has also gotten very good with her manners. Even her teachers were impressed when I handed her a book and she said, "thank you mommy" without even needing to be prompted.

Mini Me has been having a fantastic time at school. She is making friends and seems to really enjoy interacting with other children now, as opposed to just playing next to them.

She is also still enjoying Gymboree. We switched her into a smaller class, and she already has a really good friend in there that we also meet at open gym times so they can play together. And, yes, it's a slightly older boy....who is potty trained. (As daddy would say: It's the preschool equivalent to driving a car!)

Last weekend, I asked Mini Me what she wanted to do for the day. After a brief pause, she said, "Museum!" So, since she had actually answered the question with a totally appropriate response, off the the museum we went! She of course got SOAKED playing in the bubble room. The trip did teach mom and dad two very important lessons: 1. Never go to the museum on a Saturday, and 2. set up a designated meeting place. More than once, we got separated (not from Mini Me, but from each other) and it took forever running up and down the 3 floors of the museum looking for each other.

Other than that, we've rearranged the furniture to create a better playroom for the kiddos. And, I've decided to just bite the bullet and we are going to make an attempt at potty training tomorrow! Wish us luck!
