Madi wants us to kiss both cheeks (Steve always kisses both cheeks so when we don't she reminds us to do so)
I asked her to help clean up her toys, she left the room, I thought she wasn’t listening to me, instead she went to her room to clean up the books. Tries to sing “clean up, clean up, time to put the toys away”.
Sings ABC, twinkle twinkle, and counts without help, will just randomly do it.
Steve was carrying groceries, I was pushing her, she found a way to hold Steve’s hand even while he was carrying grocery bags.
Sings with Steve
Begs for Steve to bathe her so he can sing to her in the tub
Whenever Madi starts to whine or cry to get what she wants, we say in a calm voice with hand motions "Calm down, take a deep breathe, relax, use your words please" Now she says, with hand motions "calm down, my words" and then she will ask in a calm voice for what she wants.
At school she loves to take kleenex out of the box. We always tell her "One" and show her one finger and then after she takes the piece we place the box out of her reach. The other day in school she said "Kleenex, one" while putting up one finger, took one piece and then moved the box to where we always put it. She watches everything we do!
More later,
