Slow down, little one...

It's been quiet around here, we're just getting ready for the holiday. KK has been a very good girl this week. She's eating pretty well, and she is learning so much every day. She tries to repeat almost any sound, word, or action we give her...and does a pretty good job at it! She can follow instructions very well. If we say "Let's go take a bath!", she drops whatever she is doing and heads up the stairs - right into the bathroom to "turn on and test the water." We've also been working on putting toys away; however, EVERYTHING gets put away in her kitchen cupboard. I guess since that is the first place we learned "let's put it away", it means that everything gets "put away" there. At least she gets it!

She is getting very good at showing her independence. At the club, she gets really mad if she doesn't get to go wherever she wants. Kids are usually separated by three age groups: 3-18 months, 18 months-3 years, and 4's & 5's. She usually wants to be with the 4's & 5's in a connected room - and works hard at trying to get over there. Sometimes the other staff members cheat and let her into the big room (it depends on how many big kids are there, who is working, and how sweetly she can say "Hiyeee!" with a cute little smile on her face). The only problem is that it infuriates her even more when she gets sent back to her own age group. Why do they want to grow up so fast? Slow down, KK, you're becoming a big girl fast enough already! You sure are cute doing it, though! : )
