This last month has really been a fun one. Nothing specific just Charlotte being Charlotte. She is a ball of energy. Always laughing and smiling. She has become very generous with giving hugs and kisses. When ever Steve comes home from work she runs up to him and gives him a huge hug. When shopping she does not want to ride in the cart any longer. She insist on walking which more times than not it works out. Of course, sometimes she does not listen, or tries to run off. When this happens, she is in the cart strapped in. And yes, I become that mother with the screaming child in the shopping cart. One of her new loves this month is Subway. Yes, Subway sandwiches. She picks everything off and lines them up. She eats all the meat and vegetables and usually hands me the bread.
She insists on turning on every light in the house, and close every door. She comes running to the kitchen when she hears me getting a cup of ice,because she knows what I put it. Diet Coke. She is also my shadow. She follows me everywhere. Even if I leave for the room for a minute she is right there with me. she will not get into her toy box unless I do. She will not play in her room unless I initiate it and participate. She needs to be entertained. Nap time is still a go. She takes one a day, and if I am lucky she will sleep for about 2 hours.
The not so fun part of the last month has been the tantrums. She has become a pro at throwing them. Lying on the floor and crying. This happens at the store, the gym, at the house. Anywhere really. Is it bad I just leave her there on the floor?
We think that she is just beautiful, and wonderful, and amazing.
