An update on what Carly has been up to.
I just thought I would share some of the cute/funny stories about what Carly has been up to.
New Dayhome
She has now moved to a new dayhome, where we feel she is getting more stucture and fun built into her day than where she started out. She has been there for two weeks now, and really has adjusted well. Instead of sleeping in a playpen, she now sleeps on a mat on the floor and from what we are told is taking to that really well. So well in fact that when some of the older kids were signing and dancing around as it was getting close to her nap time, she started handing them their blankets to let them know that she was ready for a nap, and thus they should be too!
She also decided the other day, that she wanted to test out the other sleeping spots to ensure that she was getting the best deal, and when Carol tried to get her to move along, she waved the back of her hand to her as if to say "don't bother me now I am doing some important research".
One of the other little guys in the dayhome ("Magoo" as they affectionately call him) was on a time-out recently, and since Carly has never experienced this yet, she really sensed his sadness that she kept taking him toys to "help a brother out". Carol of course was not pleased with Carly impacting a time out, but had to laugh at her cuteness!
Favorite Things
We are going through a Teddy Bear phase right now, where when she is at home, she likes to walk around with all three of her Teddy Bear's in her arms. Now, although she does have some smaller sized stuffed animals, the larger ones tend to be the ones she tries to carry all at once. Every morning when she wakes up, she is shocked and excited to point out her Teddy Bears to Jamie and I. Althought, they have really been in the crib with her all night she just notices them again and again each morning like it was the most exciting discovery!
She also loves to pile things these days. She gathers up her favorite books, ducks, teddies and bottle (all of which she can now say), and piles them into her closet/armoire and tries to get into the closet with them. This sometimes involves some frustration as she will have a hard time standing up with all these items piled into such tight quarters!
