Ms. Beth from Bryson daycare heard both me and another parent lament the hateful ritual of getting our kiddos to wear gloves. She suggested socks for mittens.
Wise advice. Check out these pics of our morning ritual. Mommy uses her jacket/hat routine in the high chair. Then proceeds to put her North Face socks on the Bear. The Bear is confused but tries to play with his cars anyway.
Another big leap today - no stroller. The Bear again is confused and insists for a minute that I pick him up. A minute later, he is walking on his own. Impressing the ladies with his stylish sock-gloves. Big boy in a little coat. Coat might be getting a little tight. We should probably switch to the snowsuit.
Some pausing here and there to stare at the police car and make woo woo noises. In general though smooth sailing to daycare.
Later when I pick B up from daycare, his teacher says that Bryson counted to 10 in Spanish for the class. Another parent tells me, "Bryson is so smart. At morning circle, he knew all his letters." Mommy is proud of the Bear.
Here he is at the library. He is pointing at the coche morado (new word we are teaching him).
He points out a bunch of things in the book and surprises me with how much he knows. He points to the swan and kayak and correctly identifies.
We are now including bigger kid books in our list. Here we are reading Jackie Robinson.
Without prompting, the Bear gives number 42 a smooch.
Afterwards, the Bear waves goodbye to his magazines and says goodbye to the chairs and books.
Wearing regular gloves this time.
Bedtime - the Bear can now move the doors by himself. So even after we put him to sleep, his new thing is to slide the doors open to peep out. I catch him opening the doors. The Bear gives a big grin at getting caught and lies down to pretend he's sleeping.
