Week 3: It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through week three of daycare. At this point it might be safe to say that Selah’s a champ. Our routine has changed a bit and now we meet Aunt “Tia” and cousin Jordy in the mornings. She gets to enjoy a ride with her aunt and cousin and is super excited to see them when we meet. Apparently getting dropped off at daycare is a piece of cake now. I am also a witness considering I dropped her off yesterday and once again, she was in her zone and did not look back. She didn’t even say goodbye. So it’s time to face the reality that I have a growing baby-toddler-child on my hands.
As such, she is currently doing some amazing things! She pretty much has the ABC’s (aka alphabet) down. She is on her way to counting to five. The other morning before getting dressed for daycare she got her own book and started reading it aloud to herself. She was flipping through the pages saying what was going on in the pictures/who was in the pictures! Then, yesterday on the way home from daycare she let me know what she wanted to hear. I usually play a Pandora station like Old MacDonald or Sesame Street. So, we’re riding along and she yells, “Mommy!” (That’s her favorite thing to do by the way). I say, “Yes Selah?” She says something in her baby-toddler language to the effect of “I wan to jdoibiibjen baby kjdfldkfjl.” I say, “What did you say?” She says again, “Mommy, I wan to lkdjf baby lkdfjkf!” So, now I’m really trying to decipher what she’s saying because it’s clear that she’s saying the same thing and she’s actually telling me what she wants. So, I ask her to repeat it one more time and I decode it. “Mommy, I want to hear Baby Shark!” Can you believe it? So I have a little person that can make requests. Stay tuned for our continued adventures!
