Aurora - Thirty Five Months


Goodness, it has been a long time since I have written an update! We have been super busy.

The biggest change is you are now a big sister! Your little brother was born two months ago and you have adjusted fabulously. I can't say it has been completely incident free, but overall you have done much better than either your father or I expected.



You are completely potty trained! Finally! I thought we were there over the summer but we had a major setback when we moved into our house. I think it had something to do with "the baby" having his own room making everything on that front seemed a lot more tangible. Luckily though we didn't have a repeat when Connor was actually born so in thankful we got it out of the way when we did.



Your Dada has finished your bunny room. One day in the car your dada was discussing with you what to do with your room and you decided you wanted a pink room with bunnies on the wall. Thinking you would forget your dada agreed, but you forget nothing so pink bunnies it is!!



I love when you take care of your baby doll that Connor got you as a big sister present when he was born. And I love it even more that after much deliberation you named her "Baby Mama" ;)



You are holding real conversations now! You are also paying more attention to the conversations of others and frequently interrupt with "what you say?" I know you can't quite follow what people are saying when they speak quickly but you are at least becoming aware and interested in the conversations around you. This does mean, however, we really need to start being careful what we discuss around you now!



You are still a great eater. People are always impressed with what you eat when we go out. I'd say some of your favorites are shellfish of any kind and sushi (especially salmon roe and uni). We almost never order off the kids menu - in fact I think you wouldn't be too thrilled with most of the kids menu offerings!



You have completely given up your nap but are still required to have quiet time for about an hour and a half. You handle this very well and sit with your books, read, sing etc. Bedtime is around 6:30 and you sleep until 6:30-7am. You don't always fall asleep right away but you will stay in your bed and sing to yourself until you do fall asleep.



Funny Quotes --
"Mama, if Tia and Dudu made Baby Brynn and you and Dada made me... Then Nanny & Grumpa made Jojo!"
We had a canvas made of your dada and I kiss attacking you and when you first saw it you asked, "Dada, why are you trying to sneak kisses into my hair?"
