Journal post of the Units

Every once in a while I have to write down what the kids are doing for historical purposes. I'd post pictures but we lost our camera!

Unit 1

• 4.75 years old.
• 46.5 inches
• 59 lbs.
• Shoe size is a 1. Which means we are limited to 2 types of sandals from stride rite!

• Decided she wants a spider man birthday cake but later switched to Sponge Bob.
• Decided inflatable activities won't kill her or harm her. Her aversion to bounce houses is gone.
• Has pet two dogs in the last month. Our favorite was Bella, a husky white bull dog.
• Definately a little girl now. Whining has subsided and turned more into utter saddness. But I thought today, I'd rather have the sadness vs. all out melt down tantrums.
• Changes her clothes about 3 times in the mornings before she settles on an outfit.
• Doesn't like her hair put up in pony tails. Wants to wear headbands all the time.
• Allergic to cats.
• Nebulizer is 2x day with 2 kinds of medications. Singulair daily.
• Decided she likes cucumbers and yellow squash, but not in large quantities.
• Favorite book is the encyclopedia from Aunt Stephanie and Mother Goose from Grandma Pat.
• Playing with about 10 barbies. Ten.
• Will learn how to roller skate in two weeks.

• 19 months
• 36.5 inches
• 31lbs.
• Size 7.5 shoe

• Hates shoes. Hates them.
• Hates hats.
• Loves baths but hates laying down in water. He is actually happy to have water doused on his head to wash it off.
• In the last week, he decided he doesn't need to be held so much. It was amazing.
• Stopped hitting.
• Started love bites. He thinks he's playing and giving love bites so we have to watch out.
• Understands "gentle".
• Words: Daddy, hand, off, What's that?, Sister, banana (nana), mine, more (ma), Mama sometimes, Jenny (nenny), night night, dog (woof)
• Signs: Please, daddy, food
• Understands: Everything. Just learned where to put dirty clothes. Ask him for a plate and he gets one.
• Loves blankies, he has 6 now. He holds them to my face and then wants me to hold them to his face. The silky texture has him head over heels.
• Sleeps well out of the crib. Sleeps from 7:30-7 with one nap that's ususally an hour. At home it's a 2-3 hour nap.
• At the park, loves swings. Learned to pick up trash at the park. Loves mulch. Loves mulch. Loves mulch. Oh... loves mulch.
• Favorite books: Good Night Moon and Who loves you baby? from Aunt Stephanie, Trains from Sacramento Train Museum.
