I woke up Monday morning with Dad, which is pretty unusual. Julie came around 7:30 and Dad took off to go speak at a conference. Nana got here around 9:00 and we had a really good morning together. Nana even brought me a special lunch, which was yummy. I took a good, long, three-hour nap and before I knew it, Mom was home. I greeted her very happily, but didn’t want to eat too much. I was a bit uncomfortable, probably because I had some diaper issues.
I woke up a couple times overnight and got up really early (5:20!). I was in a good mood while I got ready for school. On the way to school, Mom played “1234” but it wasn’t the right version! Where did the monsters and penguins go?
I had a great day at school and was especially goot at listening and exercising my imagination while we were reading books. I was in the Large Motor Room when Mom came and I got to stay and play while Mom talked to Laurie about my moving up to the Twos room — with Emma!
On the way to Nana’a and Grandpa’s I discovered a new favorite song — in Italian! It’s called Eh, Cumpari and you can listen to it here. Be warned, you’ll fal in love. I stayed with Nana and Pop while Mom went to a doctor’s appointment. I was fussy when we got home and instead of taking a bath, I asked to take a shower. Hey, I’m almost two, you know?
I woke up Wednesday morning with Julie and had fun until Nana came. I was in a good mood except for a couple tough poops. My Arabic is coming along really well, I can now say things like “cows give us milk!”
So, it turns out that when I went to Nana’s on Tuesday, I forgot Duck there! So, when it was time to get ready for school Thursday morning, Duck was nowhere to be found. Mom, being the pro that she is, immediately turned it into a special day — Minnie Mouse woudl get to go to school with me! I really enjoyed showing Minnie off to al lmy friends. I was really independent and kept myself busy today.
I woke up with Dad on Friday morning. I took a shower with him and then ate breakfast before Mom came over. I had a really fussy morning, but as usual Nana was very patient and worked so hard to keep me happy. I ate kiwi and cereal and milk at 9:00. I was very, very clingy with Dad. Whenever he was around, I wanted him to pick me up and I would cry whenever he left.
After my nap, I hung out with Mom and we went to Bagel on Damen, where I was supposed to get a pickle, but they were out, so I got a deviled egg instead. It was snowing pretty hard, but it was fun to down the block with Mom anyway. Soon enough Dad got back from a meeting and then it was bed time!
Last year I said my first word; do you remember what it was?
