The cute things I do

I haven't blogged in almost a year. I'll try to go back and catch you up on what's happened over the last year, but right now I'm going to focus on the cute stuff I do on a daily basis.

I wake up at 6:45 AM and hang out with daddy and drink a bottle. Daddy and I leave the house by 7:15 and I'm off to daycare. I love playing with my friends at daycare, especially Macey. I can't express myself and say what I did with Macey during the day, but when mommy and daddy pick me up from the daycare I always say her name over and over.

When I get home I eat dinner with mommy and daddy and then I watch the goodnight show on Sprout. It is a PBS channel for kids. Nina and Star are the main characters and they do arts and crafts, sign language, and I learn about all sorts of things such as colors, seasons, brothers and sisters, grandparents, etc. Tonight the focus was grandparents and I learned that grandparents in Spanish is abuelos. My favorite things to watch are Caillou and Angelina Ballerina. I can sing parts of the Caillou song and I run around screaming when he comes on. I AM IN LOVE WITH CAILLOU!! I also have an Angelina Ballerina doll and when she comes on I wave to her and say hello. I also walk up to the TV and show her my Angelina doll. After we watch the goodnight show I put on my pajamas and read a couple Caillou books with mommy and daddy. I told you I love Caillou! Mommy and daddy bought me about 15 Caillou books.

I love to say Yuck and Eww. I also love to sing. My new favorite song is Old McDonald. When I am taking a bath mommy and I sing the toothbrush song. It goes like this...

Brusha, brusha, brusha, brusha, brush
Brush, brush, brush, brush every tooth no need to rush
Brush them every night until their bright
and then you spit and that's it!

Daddy bought me a new toothbrush and toothpaste and I brushed my teeth by myself tonight. Mommy started singing the toothbrush song and when we got to the spit part I shouted spit and then spit out the toothpaste. Mommy started laughing.

My favorite things to eat are fruit pouches that have pureed fruit combinations, yogurt, spicy italian sausage, chicken alfredo, macaroni and cheese, flank steak, fish sticks, hotdogs, and grilled cheese. I don't like vegetables unless it's pureed and mixed with fruit. Mommy usually sneaks in carrots with pureed apples and parsnips.

Well that's it for now. If I think of more cute things I do I'll write another post.

Love,

Sophia
