Milestones

Well, for the record today was the first day that I dropped Teah off at a child care center. I am taking a pre-natal water aerobics class 3 days a week and have so far been able to leave her with Robert or my mother. Well, today was the first day that no one was available to watch her. The fitness center has a childcare center, so for $5 I paid for her to play for two hours. I had a lot of nervous energy in my class and kept waiting for them to call me over the PA system, but I made it through my hour of class. When I picked her up she had her blanket and pacifier, so she must've gotten upset at some point, but she was doing a great job. On the way home in the car she said, "Mommy, I had a good time playing with the other kids." I'm so proud of my big girl :) *tear*

Getting Bigger...

Of course everyday Teah gets bigger and says things that make me realize it. Just this morning she woke me up and I went to let her out of her room. I was cold, so I put my robe on. Teah saw this and said, "Mommy has her robe on". "Yep", I said, "I am a little cold". Teah turns to me and says, "I'm a little cold too. I need my robe" (dragging out the word my). So she put on her little blue robe too :)

2 year olds will believe anything

A few weeks ago Teah and I were visiting with her cousins, Sarah and Emily, who are 2 and 4 years old. I am looking really pregnant by this point, so I told Sarah, the two year old, that there was a baby in my tummy. She listened for a few seconds and then went about playing. An hour later when I asked her what was in my tummy, she said, "a baby". What you tell her becomes reality. Then I told Emily, the 4 year old, that there was a baby in my tummy. She looked at me for 10 seconds or so and then said, "No". I repeated, "Yep, there's a baby in there". A longer pause this time and then she said "No, I don't think there's a baby in there." She just wasn't going to believe me! At this point I realized the upside of a two year old - they'll believe most anything you tell them!
