Friday Tidbits

• When I picked AK up from daycare the other day, she did the following in the space of about two minutes: laughed when the daycare ladies told me how she had just bitten herself (who knows why, she just put her arm in her mouth and bit, didn't even hurt herself, I don't think), pointed at a picture on the wall, said "rabbit" and then jumped while saying "hop hop hop", then when I asked her to say "bye bye", she said "no bye bye" and walked out the door without a backwards glance. What a goof.
• We went to play with Nicole, Katie and Chaz the other night. When we left, Chaz said "love you Paula". Way to melt my heart, big guy!
• AK squealed with delight when she saw Angella last night. I asked her to babysit so I could go to a 40th birthday celebration for a friend!
• I bought some mac and cheese from the deli at the grocery store. AK took a bite, gagged and spit it out. When I tasted it, I was tempted to do the same. The taste was fine but the texture was gross. Won't buy that again!
• AK is definitely scared by random things now. She saw a feather on the sidewalk last night, pointed at it, got closer, then backed away, crying. Who knows why?
• AK loves to hear the roosters crowing in our backyard. They are LOUD!
  
• Every morning, she hops out of bed, and brings me her soothers one by one (she sleeps with three - one for her mouth and one for each hand). If any of them have fallen under the bed, she looks under the bed and waits for me to come help her retrieve them.
• We read "The Hungry Little Caterpillar" last night. We hadn't read it for a while and I was happy to hear that AK was able to repeat all of the words from the book back to me, and even tell me what some of the fruits were without prompting! Very fun. I asked her to read the book to me and she "read" each page to me before turning the page. I will try to take a video of that next time.
• This kid LOVES juice boxes. Too bad her mommy is too mean to let her have them all the time. She also loves her vitamins, M&Ms and freezies.
