Well, I have discovered that while I still prefer to be in the same room as mom or dad, I can leave for a few minutes at a time. In the past few weeks I have found that I can go all the ways upstairs to my bedroom and get my blanket WITHOUT needing mom or dad to come with me. It also allows me to get into some trouble. Last week I found my mommy’s lipstick on the stairs. She thought I was going up to get my blanket, but instead I sat on the stairs and put her pretty lipstick all over my lips! Now, I did miss a little bit and got it on my cheeks and teeth, but I was VERY careful and didn’t put any on the carpet or the stairs; then I brought the tube to mommy so she could help clean me up.
Today after my shower with mommy I went to my bedroom while she was drying her hair. I picked out a skirt and put it on and came back to show mom that I can get dressed too! She told me I needed a shirt, so I went and found one and put that on too. I did need a little help to turn it right side out, but I got it over my head and my arms in all by myself! Then She said I needed socks, so I went to the pile of clean laundry and found two that looked the same. I was so proud of me.
Yesterday while mom was folding laundry I was playing with the doors in the hallway, using my stool to turn all the lights on and off, and generally just staying out of her way. I took my stool into mommy’s room, shut the door and stood on the stool to turn the light on. And do you know what else I found? A little knob in the middle of the door knob that turns when I twist it! Turns out it makes it so mommy can’t open the door! She wiggles it a lot, tries to get me to turn it back, but I am smarter than that! If she can’t get in, that means that I can play with the money in the drawer, get her hair brush out of the bathroom, climb up on the bed, take things off her dresser, and generally do whatever I want while she tries to find the keys to into her own room! I thought it was hilarious, but I think I had mommy a bit worried when she couldn’t get in to get me!
The one thing that I haven’t been doing is going tinkle or poop in the potty. As much as I want to wear those big girl panties, my diaper is just so much EASIER! I have been sitting on the potty at bedtime, and will tinkle most nights before we put my jammies on. Mommy and daddy get so excited. I try to show them how silly they look; when mommy goes tinkle I clap my hands and say “yay mommy tinkle!” but she just thinks it’s cute and giggles at me.
I sure am talking more. Mommy seems to like it, and has started saying some words really funny. She tells Ammie that she’s just copying what I say, but it sounds totally different! Now, she used poke fun at me when I said “aye” instead of “yes”, but I’ve figured that one out, and say “yeah” or “yup” or “yes” instead of “aye”. Right now mommy’s favorite word to mess up is “mung”. Now, I say “come mommy”, and she just can’t get it right! She keeps saying “mung where?” Then there are those words where I just don’t like to say them, so I use a different word. Some of those are “eyes” for glasses or sunglasses, “hello” for the telephone.
Okay, I would write more, but mommy is starting to look at me funny cuz she thinks I’m ruining her “puter” again (I do have a knack for that). So I better go find my shoes so we can play outside.
