Laura is currently going through a growth spurt of independence. She has learned how to fully dress and undress herself, and has been rampantly practicing taking her clothes on and off, jammies to clothes, clothes to naked, naked to jammies, all day long! I am pretty excited she has finally grown some independence in this area, and although the incessant wardrobe changes are a little exasperating, I know she is just practicing her new skill that will leave me with a little less to do for her. So I'm pretty happy about it!
She has also started showing a real interest in letters and their sounds and more specifically what happens when you put the sounds together! We have started some rudimentary phonics, and she has the skills now of an early reader! This, too, has me ecstatic!! I am sooo excited to introduce her to the world of reading!
In a not-so-great leap of independence, Laura has come to let herself out of the house as she pleases. She has been able to open doors for a long time now (obviously), but only recently has she started taking off without telling me she is leaving. I have to have a pretty keen ear for the door opening and closing now! (And we have talked several times about the importance of telling mommy when she wants to go outside and play before she does it!)
And! Not to be left in the dust, Rachel has started making preliminary progress on the potty training front! We have had some success with her peeing on the potty, and that has me doing a happy dance, as well!
