Next Steps

Back in June she mastered the climbing of them, why not now master The Sit.

She'll read, play with a toy, play with her shoes. Or she'll just sit on the top step and swing her legs, banging her feet against the riser. She likes the banging :).

She's getting the hang of this unwrapping thing, too:




Well You Did It

When I was little we had rubber bands on the kitchen cabinets to keep me from getting in. I would pull the handles and look at my parents to see if they were watching. They would of course say "don't do that" and I would continue until I got my hand in and then let go. Well the rubber band would snap, and my hand would get caught, and it would hurt and I would cry. And they would say "well you did it!".

We had our first "well you did it" moment with Penny this evening. I have been asking her to not open the cabinet that we put our recyclables in because the knob sits very close to the oven and she'll get her fingers caught.

Well-You-Did-It

Like mother, like daughter, she had to find out for herself. She got her little fingers pinched. Poor girl, but of course I had to say… "Well you did it!" And then I kissed her fingers and gave her a hug. Hopefully she'll remember and not do it again, but if little-girl me is any indication, we may have some more "well you did it" moments.

Sunday Night Movie

Watching Despicable Me.

We also made potato latkes for dinner.



After A LOT of elbow grease from Gabe grating the potatoes, dinner was delicious. Salmon, latkes and spinach salad.

Hanukkah_4-5

We all sat down for dinner together and Miss Penny ate some latkes. She tried the salmon and wasn't a huge fan but did enjoy the cinnamon apple sauce.

Penny and Daddy did some goofing off, too :)






Happy 4th night of Hanukkah!
