Heather is growing into a little girl very quickly and is changing week to week. Until recently, the night time routine ends with mum or dad singing songs, now we are accompanied by the little voice of Heather. Some of the songs she has heard for months now, however she is even able to remember the words to new songs ....remembering them better than mum and dad. Her evening repertoire is Frere Jaque, Miss Polly had a dolly, twinkle twinkle, the wheels on the bus and I love you. Every song in that exact order!!!She loves to run and dance and sing to music while Finlay is having his bath and it is hilarious to see her wiggle her bum and shoulders. In the mornings, she sometimes is determined to put on her pants and trousers independently. She is a great help in the kitchen and often wants to stand on a chair to help make her own dinner and loves to make muffins and cookies.
It is amazing to see toddlers develop a sense of self and realize what they want and what they don't want!!!....And we all hear about what they don't want!!!!
Heather has always been fussy about eating veggies and I have even been known to try and make fruit smoothies with a veggie added here or there...however she sometimes gets wise to this and encourages me to be more creative. A few nights ago we prepared a dinner together and she was really excited to help, however, when the plate was presented on the table , she was having none of it!!!! I then started making faces out of the veggies on the tray and she eagerly ate 4 of them!!!!
I'm sure all experienced mothers have tried that before, but it is quite satisfying to think that you have overcome another protest!!!!
