I have taken full advantage of keeping P busy. She really wants to help me with every thing I'm doing. This morning I needed to unload the dishwasher and I put her in charge of matching her cups and lids, then putting them in the basket. Her task kept her busy just long enough so that I could get everything put away without tripping over a little toddler. Talk about proud of herself!!! Wonder what other chores I can start teaching her?
On the topic of schedules and the fact that our tot will turn two in less than 3 months, I checked out a new read at the library this week. I read the Happiest Baby and learned a lot from it before P was born, so when i spotted the Happiest Toddler, i didn't hesitate to pick it up. It has been just as interesting and gives lots of unique ideas about communicating with your toddler in an effective way. I actually wish I would have read it a while ago. Dr. Karp definitely makes some good points and helps you remember that they are only 2 years old. Hope it helps us through the 'stages' that are on the horizon-----or the "mine" stage, which is occurring at this very moment. Everything is "mine," and by that I mean everything is Presley's.
The hubs and I celebrated three blissful years of marriage last week. We enjoyed dinner and drinks and just had such a great time together! I cherish those dates with him more and more as our lives seem to pass by with the speed of light.
Off to prep dinner---one of these days I will share all these new recipes I've been trying!
