Yesterday

Yesterday was a good day for Lilah.  When I picked her up from daycare I walk in to her escaping into the kitchen.  Sarah was telling me how she escapes from anything now.  David and I taught her to say “no no” when she wants to do something she shouldn’t.  So, she scolds what she wants to do and runs away from it.  She also has this habit of kicking when changing her diaper because she thinks it’s funny, and she would like to be diaper less all the time.  Dana told me how she was changing her diaper and Lilah said to her “no no” and Dana was surprised when she did that.  She also has been picking up a smaller child named Lindsay who is 10 months old and helping her walk around the room.  When Lindsay’s mom comes to pick her up, Lilah buckles her in her car seat but she has not figured out how to tighten it yet.

When we got home, she had a good time with snacks and then proceeded to tackle David.  Her Daddy is the most entertaining ride in the house and she gave him a big kiss after.  Then she tackled him again to give him a hug.  She had a pretty good night but she woke up at 12:00am and stayed awake until 2:00am.  When I dropped her off at daycare today she did not want to be dropped off and snuggled me until she went to Dana.  She should have a good day today because they are going to carve pumpkins and she likes to play with them.  The battle with the pacifier is still not over but we’ve got her down to nap times.  Soon, we’re going to take it away for good!  We still haven't decided if we should do it now or after the baby comes and wait for her to get use to the new baby.
