Sweet princess, you are already 27 months old and I must tell you that I will never stop doing our little monthly updates because I just enjoy them so much that I want you to enjoy them later as well! I like to get in here once every month and update what has been going on with you, us, and our family during this stage in your life. What stage mommy? Oh you know, just that very vital toddler-hood stage.
You are so so smart. You amaze us every day with the things you know and you are constantly learning. Because of this, I am always looking for new ways to fill your brain. :/
I have had trouble trying to find things to teach you (silly, as there is a world of things to learn), because you already mastered your ABCs, numbers (up to 10 in English and up to 15 in Spanish), shapes, and colors. But, luckily, we have found quite a few things to work on these days...
Now we are learning what sounds the letters make and trying to figure out what letter each word begins with. I can tell that this will take us some time, as it is not an easy task. You have been doing a lot of memory activities as well and you do wonderful with that. We have one that we always do, and you sure have better memory than your old mama over here!
You love other kids and always run to hug them without worrying if we have met them before or not. All while having the biggest smile on your face.
You are such a little mommy! It's so interesting to me... You will talk to your dolls and furry pets like they are your babies. You try to "feed" them, "cure" them when they are not feeling well, "make them sleep" when they are tired, etc, etc, etc.
Sleep has stopped being an issue with us lately. I am so happy to say that we have been doing fine for a while.
Tantrums. I think we are going up (getting better) with these. I don't want to jinx myself, but this past month you have really started listening more and we don't have to tell you multiple times to do something (well we do, but not as often as we used to). You have also learned the importance of listening to mommy and daddy, especially when we are doing something fun, and know that if you don't practice your "listening skills" we will have to go back home. I can't say that we are out of the dark. I'm sure we will have many more hard times to come in this area of being a toddler, but it's looking up, and I'm proud of you for that.
Eating has also gotten better. Unfortunately, the only way we have figured out to do lunch is to tell you that you are eating all sorts of animals and you love it! I know, i know, we still have to work on you eating those healthy vegetables... but we´ve had great progress in this field... :)
Potty training. This is a whole post that I am saving for later. But to touch up on it here... we will start working on it the last week of this month (as it has also been agreed with your nursery teachers). I am hoping that we will be trained before you turn 3 (hahaha). I am sure you will!
You still suck your pacifier and twirl your "pitas - strings" at the same time. This is your soothing mechanism. We will however be trying to quit the pacifier sucking deal once you turn 3. We have a ways to go...
I could still write and write and write, because the truth of the matter is that beyond all issues that we may face with you now, you are such a happy, loving, full of energy and LIFE child and you continue to amaze your papa and I each and every day. You give the biggest hugs and the sweetest kisses and we are so grateful and honored to know you, love you, teach you, and make memories with you. The best risk taker in all the land, and the cutest little thing to ever stand. And that my dear is your mommy rhyming for you!
We LOOOOOVE you SOOOOOOO much,
Your Mamita
