When Adelaide was very small, we suspected she had a very big personality. Now that she's a big toddler, her personality just gets bigger and more dramatic. She started full-time in the toddler room, and we went to an evening parent-involvement meeting where we learned the songs they sing in daycare. (It's a very serious daycare). More than 20 parents were seated in a circle, and the kids were in the middle of the circle milling about. Adelaide performed - she sang and danced and made faces at everyone. What a character.
Here's Adelaide making dramatic faces on her great-great grandma's rocker, going down the stairs, and working on her artwork (as well as eating the marker - don't worry, it's non-toxic, designed for toddlers).
Adelaide is in love with her "big girl shoes" - the first pair of real outdoor/indoor shoes we got her. (She's been wearing the soft Robeez up until now). We took her to the real shoe store and had her fit, and she wore the shoes out of the store into the mall. She knew it was a big deal - she grabs them and wants us to put them on over her PJs! Good thing she loves them, they were a little pricey. Hopefully next time I'll plan ahead and make a trip to the Albertville Outlet mall.
We're having fun!
