Teah's 1st two-word Sentence

Teah has started saying a lot of words lately, but just one word at a time. Some of her favorites are up, mom, elmo, blue, roof roof, and meow. So, I've been trying to get Teah to put two words together lately, with no luck. The other day we were at the park and I had brought along the dog. She saw the dog "marking hit spot" on a bush. She pointed at him and said, "roof roof pee". lol.

Silliness

Everynight around 6:30 or 7pm is now Teah's "hyper time". She loves to be tickled or jump around on the bed or play hide and seek. She's hilarious when she plays hide and seek because she always gives herself away. Yesterday she went into our bedroom closet and shut the door to hide. I said "Where is Teah?" and she let out a giggle from behind the door :) I found her.

A Wild Adventure

Today we made a trip downtown and ate dinner at the Rainforest cafe with my mother who was in town on business. Teah had a great time! We had a table next to the aquarium and she loved the fish, but she loved the animatronic gorillas even more. We ate for an hour and a half and she was entertained - she even had a balloon kitty made for her :) We ordered off of the kids menu for the very first time - recently Teah has been obsessed with chicken nuggets. She ate six nuggets at dinner! And Granmda even got her a souvenir - what a fun night!

Books

Today was the first day that Teah sat and looked at a book without me. She'll pull them all of the shelf or chew on one, but today she just sat down, pulled out her Tigger & Pooh book and flipped through every page. She looked at each page intently, like she was actually reading :) lol I guess she's becoming more independent. Oh - now she sees me ont he computer and wants to play on her website.

Teah's Potty

Well, Teah has a little potty now that sits on top of the regular toilet. She loves to sit on it and read books and usually I sit her on it for 5 minutes or so before bathtime, just to get used to the idea and maybe accidentally do something in there! Yesterday we did the usual, she sat on the potty and I read a few books. She wanted down, so I started her bath water. I was just putting in her bathmat when I thought I smelled pee - there she was standing right between the toilet and the bathtub in a puddle of urine! She had no idea she had gone, so I guess we're not there yet. Good thing she was about to get into the tub :)

The beginning of the end

Yesterday Teah said "No" for the first time! We were about to take a walk to the park and I told her she was going to have to sit in her stroller - she looked at me and said, "No" - sounded a little like now, but she knew what she was saying. I guess this is the beginning of a long life of Nos :) I bribed her with sidewalk chalk and she sat down. And she didn't just stop there. She said "no" when I told her we were going to go upstairs and take a bath (she wanted to watch tv - that's a whole other story ugh), although she still obliged, so perhaps she's just testing the waters.

OK - starting today I am going to blog more often. Teah does cute things everyday :) Anyway, today she found the wastebasket in our bedroom which was empty. She brought it downstairs to the sink and pointed at the water - she thought it was a big cup! So, I told her we don't drink out of it, trash goes in it, and I gave her a real cup. She took a few drinks out of the regular cup and I told her to give it to mommy when she was done (trying to avoid her dumping it on the floor). I was so excited when it looked like she was actually going to give it to me, but then at the very last second, she dumped it on the floor! That's my toddler.
