Sarah was super excited that someone stuck some Cars stickers on the inside of the tunnel slide at school. I usually just wait for her at the bottom but she refused to come down so I had to climb up to see what all of the fuss was about!
Sarah is growing a lot these days! She is adding tons of new words, can climb up onto the couch, beds, coffee table, and kitchen table without assistance (the last two are not approved climbing locations). She can also climb the rope ladder at the playground at our apartment. She occasionally acts like she is going to just walk off the edge of some of these high places (and fell off of our bed yesterday but wasn't phased by it at all).
She likes to sit and work on puzzles for a short while, can stack six or seven blocks high, and really likes to read books (photo books and lift-the-flap are still the best). She loves owls so I've gotten her a few owl things and she adores them (books and a stuffed animal).
She saw the moon tonight and was so excited about it she had a hard time falling asleep (because she wanted to keep looking at it).
Sarah is eligible to go to Playschool next month but I cannot imagine sending my baby out into the world yet! We are lucky to have Alfred next door and have fallen into a pattern of playing with him in the morning (driving cars outside) after Sarah & I drop off Anna at school. When I ask her if Alfred is her friend she nods and says, "yes."
She often asks for one (or more) of her stuffed animals after her nap and gives them giant hugs.
New spoken words: eek!, ghost, cloud, moon, star, poop, pee, baby (this is coming out as two syllables now), doll, cheese, please, beep (while signing car), chin, eyes, nose, mouth, cracker, and she says "chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo" when we play with the train set.
New signed word: baby
