All Bottled Up

While other babies go to bed with their beloved teddy bear, a favorite blankie or in my niece's case, her very beat-up duckie, Kayla likes hugging her sippy cup, or rather, her sippy bottle to bed. I'm starting to wonder if I should get a couple more of these same Sesame Street sippy thingamajigs in case one gets lost or too dirty to be used. And yes, even I'm starting to think she's strange. :)

To make up for the lack of updates the past two weeks, here are some highlights of the munchkin's life.

1. In episode "Not for Sale, Deer," Kayla and I came across 3 baby deers (or fawns) as we were driving to the library for storytime. They were taking a nice early morning stroll on the opposite side of the two-lane street (thank goodness or i'd have absolutely no idea what to do). Clearly thrilled, I told Kayla to look at the little deer-ries. And within minutes of driving past them, she goes, "Mommy buy it. Buy the deer." I should have said, "They're not for sale, deer." Instead, I told her very nicely, "We can't buy the deer. Maybe we'll see one at the zoo next time."

2. In episode "Wash HAANDS!," Kayla did better at her third arts session. She wasn't so insistent on going to the sink each time her hands were dirtied. She enjoyed the lesson so much she cried when it was time to go. And today, we did some serious finger painting and she didn't protest when I proceeded to paint her hands blue and red so we could make some pretty hand prints.

3. In episode "Stranger Shy," we had a couple of visitors over the past weeks. Mommy had a very good time catching up with her friends, but it took a while for Kayla to warm up to the guests. She eventually did and by then, they had to leave.

I finally had some time to upload some of her video clips...and here's one of them:
