Sometimes I hesitate to write about all the cool things Kayla is doing, saying and learning for fear that I may be “bragging.”\u00a0 \u00a0 However, part of the reason I update the site so much is for ourselves–so that I can remember these wonderful days of motherhood and so that the kids can read a journal of their early years.\u00a0 I suppose if anyone thinks I’m bragging, that person can just stop checking our site!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Several days ago Kayla and I were drawing together with her Doodle Pro.\u00a0 I drew a picture of the moon and asked if the moon was always a circle.\u00a0 She said yes, and then I explained that the moon is always a circle (or a sphere to be precise), but that we see different phases of the moon.\u00a0 I drew a picture of a full moon, a half moon and a crescent moon.\u00a0 Last night we had a good view of the moon from the living room window.\u00a0 Kayla looked at it, and you could tell the wheels were turning.\u00a0 Then she said “half moon.”\u00a0 I was pretty impressed!\u00a0 Today we’ve been eating our English muffins in the shape of half moons and crescent moons.\u00a0 Kayla always wants to have a bite of my moons.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
We’ve also been working with letters a lot (nothing too structured, just here and there as we have time).\u00a0 She amazed me the other day with how much she could put together.\u00a0 I asked her what letter “dog” started with.\u00a0 I said “dog–da, da.\u00a0 What letter makes the sound da?”\u00a0 Right away she said “Daddy.”\u00a0 I said, “that’s right, and what letter does Daddy start with?”\u00a0 “D!”\u00a0 Good job, Kayla!\u00a0 Then we went through a bunch of other D words.\u00a0 She thought it was pretty cool.<\/p>\n
Kayla continues to advance in her conversation abilities, too.\u00a0 She’s starting to ask more questions, which I find really cute.\u00a0 Yesterday afternoon we were playing outside and swinging on the hammock.\u00a0 I said, “Kayla, we should get a blanket.”\u00a0 And she said, “you kind of cold?”<\/p>\n
Finally, Kayla impresses me with her math abilities, too.\u00a0 I made three English muffin pizzas today (actually 1 1\/2 English muffins).\u00a0 I brought them to the table on one plate and Kayla said, “three pizzas.\u00a0 Two for Mommy; one for Kayla.”<\/p>\n
Unfortunately it seems like Kayla has a little bit of a cold again.\u00a0 She just got over one!\u00a0 Anyone have any good tips for how to keep a toddler healthy?\u00a0 I give her vitamins, feed her health food and run a vaporizer in her room.\u00a0 I could quarantine her all winter long, but that wouldn’t be any fun.\u00a0 I’m sure she catches colds from her many friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
