14 Months

 
 
Sara is BUSY.
 
She does not stay still for long
and is walking more than crawling.
 
She gives hugs and open mouth kisses,
loves her furr sissy,
thinks water is the BEST
(hose drinks, splashing, stomping, bath time, pools)
loves to be outside,
loves reading her books,
and loves playdates with her neighbor friends.
 
 
Daycare is getting easier.
 
Last week,
she cried hysterically when I dropped her off
Today she was upset, but shed no tears.
 
She is starting to interact more,
with the other children.
She is shy at first but warms up quickly
(like both her mommy and daddy).
 
She still loves her sleep.
 
She says a lot of words
and is beginning to put words together.
 
She says:
"hi"
"bye"
"sissy"
"daddy"
"mama"
"more"
"all done"
"nana"
"papa"
"nigh night"
 
Last week,
Matt was leaving her room
and she said, "bye dad"!
 
She does "so big" by raising her arms
and when asked, "where's Sara?",
she points to the mirror.
 
She loves to wave at everything and everyone.
Especially at cars driving past our house.
 
Such a smart girl!
 
She is a good eater and tries everything.
Her favorite is her mommy's banana pancakes.

Stepping Stones

 
 
Today is Sara's first day at Stepping Stones!
a.k.a BIG girl school.
 
 
I've never had to wake Sara up in the morning.
In the past, I would let her sleep in
and bring her to Kandi's after she woke up.
I don't think she appreciated my wake-up call today.


 


 
After singing her a few cheery songs
and reminding her about her BIG day,
she was all smiles.
 
She babbled all the way to daycare.
 
When we arrived,
she was excited and pointing at everything.
She likes to point and wave.
 
Only 2 of the 10 kids were there when we arrived.
Sara clung tightly to my finger until she saw the toys.
She walked over to play and never looked back.
 








 
 
I know I overstayed my welcome,
but I really enjoyed watching Sara play.
 
 
She will need to put this boy in his place.
He kept stealing her toy and putting frogs in her hair.
 
Boys are trouble.
 
 


 
 
 



 
 
 
I tried to leave once but I ended up
stalking her through the window.
 
 




 
 
 
 
 
 The ladies in her room encouraged me
to call as often as I pleased.
 
So I did.
 
As of noon, Sara has had a great morning.
She has only cried when others in the room were crying.
 
She played outside this morning
and will be doing arts and crafts this afternoon.
 
So far, big girl school seems to be
much harder on Mommy
than it is on Sara Mae.
