I have 10.3 minutes until I promised I'd shower, so why not blog since the floors are spotless and I have all day tomorrow (save for church) to clean the bathroom?
I originally had 12.9 minutes but SOMEONE (who shall remain cute and nameless) kept talking to Bunny, playing with a pillow, and not sleeping. Shocker. I still hear her talking. Doesn't she know she needs to sleep now so we can get our errands done before our family dinner date?! Bah.
Morgan is now recognizing letters. This wasn't how I planned her development to go, as I had intended for her to learn to count to 3, then colors, and letters/shapes down the road. She has one of those leap frog letter things for the fridge which was intended to mostly keep her entertained when she was smaller from crawling up my leg and onto my nerves while I was trying to make dinner. Apparently either that, Mary's version, or something they're doing at Mary's is teaching her letters as she now readily recognizes and names: W, B, E, F, L; still a bit shaky on: M, A, H, O, D. Fine by me. She had an odd morning bath today since we were gone last night and out tonight too so I brought out all her bath letters and we had fun til the water got too cold. She's terribly interested in them. She'd look at me intently and try to say them after me. *rats 3 minutes left*
As I said we're also working on colors which is especially good when eating M&Ms after successful potty use. Perhaps we shouldn't phase them out as I had planned since she's only getting 1/successful potty trip and learning her colors...today after one such trip I asked her what color she wanted...yellow. Ok, yellow it is.
Why won't the kid nap!? Maybe it's b/c she took a 1.5 hr nap this morning during which time Adam and I accidentally went back to bed for naps too. Perfect. :)
And now it's 2pm. Shower time. First upstairs to tell the kidlet to hush her mouth and go to sleep. Perhaps today will just be a resting afternoon nap day? And how does a mom/dad know when to phase out morning naps? Do they do it themselves? She's still very much into her morning nap.
*1 min past. bye.*

Campbell was down to 1 nap at 16 months. I know, because it was one month before Parker was born and I was devastated because I had wanted her on two naps until at least 18 months.
