I swear, my child grew leaps and bounds when we were gone. Her hair is growing over her ears and flipping a little in the back. It is darker and thicker, too. She is gaining confidence with walking; she doesn't shrug her shoulders and lets her arms hang like a normal person. It is scary.
However, I am most impressed by her newfound ability to string together two-word phrases like, "Hi, baby", "Oh, blankie", and "Thank you". She is like a spongey parrot: soaking up and mimicking everything she hears and since I talk to her all day, she does a lot of mimicking. Guess it is time to clean up my act!
Along the way, Waverly has also developed a nasty habit. Tonight, though, she took it to a whole new level. For whatever reason, she likes to poop in the bathtub. When it first happened, I hoped it was a one time thing, but it must be a toddler fad. I have become quite adept at noticing the early signs, but cannot seem to get her out of the tub and onto the potty fast enough. So, what is that new level, you ask? She peed on the bathroom floor right before I put her in the tub. Soon thereafter, she pooped in the tub. Fail.
What does all of this tell me? Sit her on the potty while I fill up the tub. Throw her in and wash her up. When her nostrils flair, grab her up, fling her back on the potty, and cross my fingers that all of the hooplah does not interfere with her "business".
Boom. Potty Training 101.
Haha! We've had the same issue with the pooping in the tub AND peeing in the floor outside the tub. Luckily, Cora does seem to be past the pooping part. We've tried putting her on her potty before bath time, but she gets so excited, she just can't sit there. :) Instead, we just leave her diaper on until we're ready to put her in the tub. I do hate to clean a poopy tub, and it's not very conducive for getting a baby clean either. Good luck!
