Great-Grandma Visit

Maevy-

We did it! What did we do? Well two things- one we visited Mommy's Grandma, your Great-Grandma! It was a great trip and your first time meeting Great-Grandma. You put a smile on everyone's face at the assisted living facility and made lots of new friends. You also met Great-Uncle Bill, Great-Aunt Mary Bess, and your cousins Kerre, Madison, Carson, and Sydney. You really loved playing with Carson and Sydney, and immediately asked Sydney to read you several books.

Unfortunately towards the end of the trip you got sick and had a fever on the plane ride home. BUT- you're all better now.

The second thing we did was travel on a plane without Daddy! Mommy had a whole system and lots of toys/books for you to play with. You were great and even entertained some passengers on the plane. On the way home we really only played a little bit and spent most of the trip sleeping. It's much easier to travel with an extra person, but thanks for being such a great travel partner. (sick, sleepy Maevy below)

Love you Maevy!

1 to 10

I'm really getting in to this school thing. Guess who came home yesterday counting to 10?! It was probably the cutest thing ever. You don't know how to actually count yet. If I were to put 5 objects down and ask you to count them, you would just keep counting to 10. But still, in the matter of a few days you went from just 1, 2, 3....and then all the way to 10. I told your teacher, Miss Susan, this morning how impressed I was and she seemed very pleased. She said they have a numbers book that you like to read a lot.

Clearly your language skills are really taking off and over the past few weeks you just can't help but point out of the objects, colors, numbers, and letters you know.Oh and you've also gone from saying that all circles are "balls" to saying that they are "circles".

You have a new favorite book during bedtime, Lull-a-bye, Little One, which basically follows your exact bedtime routine. Your favorite part is when the little girl puts away her toys and yells "Hooray!" with both hands up in the air. You are also obsessed with The Family Book which has lots of great colors and a page that you think is hilarious with raccoons in a tree and a monkey hanging upside down.

 

(Here you are playing with probably your favorite toy from Christmas, Pegs! As much as I want you to play with your Aquadoodle, you are much more interested in drinking the water from the pen!)

Love you Maevy. I can't wait to see what you learn next!
