Other Tidbits about Alaina
Alaina now knows most of her shapes, circle, triangle, rectangle, square and even pentagon! She is learning colours, some days she knows them better than others, pink, yellow and green and sometimes blue and red. She counts to 10 but sometimes skips 3 and 8. She can do a somersault too, it's sometimes off to the side but too cute.
We were out to dinner in london last week and I was sitting across from her amazed at what a wonderful, well behaved little girl I have. I was so proud that she sat there for 1.5 hours, happy as can be and ate everything put in front of her. She even gobbled down her ice cream with a soup spoon with no complaints! Our regular waiter couldn't believe when she was almost done that the substitute waiter brought a kids ice cream with a soup spoon! She is always saying something or doing something that makes us laugh and almost brings tears to my eyes at how smart she is at such a young age. Before you are a parent you don't realize what they learn and are capable of soo young! For example, my nan was over to play the one day and Alaina put her in the corner and told her to stay! We have been putting Alaina in the corner to get her to play nicer, not hitting and kicking when she gets excited or touching things she's not suppose to and for just being sassy! I was trying soo hard not to laugh, listening to nan ask if she can come out now and she was sorry LOL She says everything back to us that we say to her, and includes the finger pointing and scowling :P We have hit the terrible two's but they aren't that terrible, yet :P Brandon said just yesterday, we have a teenager already, I said yep, we are doomed! LOL I can honestly say, if Alivia turns out to be as good or better, I will continue to be the happiest mommy in the world :)
Tidbits of Alivia - much shorter :)
Alivia has been smiling alot and started to coo a little bit. She really watches our mouths. If we stick our tongue out, she will copy, it's soo cute. She's growing too fast for my liking. Having two definitely makes time go by even faster and that's depressing! She's going to be 2 months on Saturday already :(
