My Little Princess'

My darlings are moving right along with their development. =)

Kirra had a test from AZ Parenting (DSI) Developmental Specialists- people last Saturday. I called them to come and do activities with the girls bi-monthly. It’s free and they have great stuff!! They tested her on her colors using bags (gift bags) that were solid colors as one activity of many. She knew most of them!! We said which one is yellow? She points right to it and says…”yello” which one is green? “Grea” and so on!! She really amazes me because she picks things up only teaching her one time! She is so easy in that respect! I will ask her say, “uncle” she spit out “uncle” and “aunt” and “oh know….” Basically whatever I say, she will try to repeat. Of course has the thinking eyes and face on first.

I read the other day most kids her age pick up a whopping 350 words a week and we don’t even realize it… I don’t know where that stat came from but she sure understands a ton more than I thought. I ask her go throw this away and she will. She only knows “1 garbage” in our 3 level home because that is the one I said this is the garbage. We throw things away here. So she will be upstairs and go down two flights and throw it away and be right back. Even though upstairs there are three garbage cans. I have a little helper!! I ask her where’s your tongue she shows me, she is really surprising me!!

Baili on the other hand is waving bye, bye now and trying to crawl, clapping, and some words. Progressing every day and working so hard at pulling herself up. I think personally she wants to she just has low muscle tone….Baili is the HAPPIEST little sucker and I mean LITTLE she is so petite and tiny, my little baby with LOUD lungs!

We started the “potty” with Kirra…just getting used to it. Reading books on Potty, watching yes, Mommy go potty. We have one upstairs and one downstairs (2 small separate potty’s) and one on the toilet upstairs in the girls bathroom. Getting comfy on them for now… I read to take it slow. She seems ready to me. I know I read they have to be in a bed out of a crib and all so she isn’t ready for that. My plan is to try and see what happens. I hope by 2 ½ for Kirra or 3 for sure. Might as well start now! She can show me the potty, sit on it, and tell me when she is pooping. So my Dad (Papa) says, if she can tell you before she goes - she can go on the potty and that girls are way faster than boys?? Hmmm just at least trying to make it available for her. She is very interested for now. She reminds me to brush her teeth at night and says “teeth” and gives Baili a brush too.
We are going to have toddlers soon and I can’t wait!
