STOMP

Another week is gone, and another weekend has ended.
This week Naddie’s daycare has called me twice in a row.
Once on Tuesday to see if I knew that she had some sort of scratch around her belly button. No, I did not know. I think it has happened while she was playing outside at the center. The second call came the following day. She was bitten by another little girl who did not want to share the “tree house” outside and wanted Naddie gone. Apparently my little girl got very upset and did not understand what happened. Her daycare providers had a talk with her to let her know that she did not do anything wrong and that biting is not OK and that it is fine to feel sad.
I must say I love the fact that they pay so much attention to them.
This Saturday we spent some time on the beach again and Sunday we took another hike with Molly and Gramps JR.
This time I pushed Naddie in her stroller as it is made for off road. I think she likes to be carried more than pushed. She also walked a little, but we had to end that after a little while or we would’ve slept with some big cats in the wild.
She also starting to say ME and MINE a lot. She is very much aware of what is hers and what she can do. OH, and she is stumping when she gets frustrated. First I thought it was funny but I know we have to let her know that it is not ok.
Could it be that she is practicing for the show STOMP??????

Nature vs. Nurture

I always thought that if I ever had a girl she would be very much like me.
After Naddie was born and in the first year of her life I had to get used to the idea that she did not look anything like me and her developing personality reflected more of Will’s than mine. Don’t take me wrong, I think it is a great thing, but a mother would love to see some of her characteristics in her one and only first born than just NOTHING!
So I thought maybe she will be just like I was as a toddler. I was more of a tomboy than a girly girl to my mom’s enjoyment, as I am sure she always wished for the opposite.
I guess life also plays some pranks on us to have a good laugh.
Our little girl is becoming as girly as one can be.
She absolutely loves shoes! I do have to admit that I feed that a little bit by buying great little shoes on a very frequent basis.
She just loves to put them on and then show them off to whoever will pay attention.
She will put her little foot out and than move it from one side to the other like adults do when they are buying a new pair and checking them out before the big decision: “Do I really need them?”
Naddie is also obsessed with jewelry. She will make me take my watch or my bracelet off and put it on her little wrist. She is so proud when she wears them. She acts like she is very busy, busy showing it off.
She also picks her clothes out in the morning. We just need to work on the coordinating factor a little bit.
So the girly girl is changing every single day.
She also picked up some new words and sentences:
~ Doggie
~ What’s up?
~ Pizza
~ Pelenka (diaper in Hungarian)
~ Jib-Jab (she must have picked that up at day care)
~ Thank you
~ Humpty Dumpty
~ Dedi (great grant parents in Hungarian)
