Snot and Kindergym

You were sick - really sick - this past weekend. This was the first time in ages that we had to go to you after your bedtime. You woke up crying hard at 9pm and we got you out of bed. You were miserable, and clingy, and snotty. You went back to bed at 11pm - that is the hardest most "sleepless" night that we have had with you since you were still eating in the middle of the night. You are the best - even when you are sick. Anyways, you woke up yesterday feeling better. We could tell because the clingy was over and some of the crazy was back. It was nice to see - you were kind of a sad case for a while...

Today we went to Kindergym. You ran and ran and ran. And swung hockey sticks around. And kicked balls over and over. And jumped on the mats and the mini trampoline. And jumped in the bouncy castle. You seem to draw attention wherever you go - I think because you are so outgoing. You will pretty much walk up to, or climb on the lap of ANYBODY!

Recently, you have started playing a bit shy or coy, but I think you only do it to get a reaction. You are kind of slick about it smirking and batting your eyelashes with your head cocked to the side...

Two cute thinks happened today:

.

You kicked a ball in the gym and it rolled under a chair beside the wall where some of the parents sit to watch their kids play. You noticed that a baby was sitting beside that chair in a car seat sleeping. You stood up slowly and leaned towards the baby with your eyes opened wide. I said "Do you see the little baby? We have to be quiet - it's sleeping." You looked at its mother and said "Shhhh" before tossing your head back in a fake, dramatic, silent laugh and running away. She was howling. Crazy kid.

.

You saw some boys jumping around on the mats and "falling down" all over each other and rolling around. You thought you needed to join in the fun! After bouncing around for a bit you found yourself belly down and face to face with another toddler in front of you. You quickly reached out towards his face and I screeched "GENTLE!" because I feared for that little boys eyes. You very carefully patted his cheekbone and pointed towards his eye while closing yours tight with a purposed blink. Thank God! You are into anatomy right now, but still lack a bit of impulse control and depth perception. But it sure is neat to see that you know some parts of the body, and that you see that your body has the same parts that other peoples' do.

Just try not to poke any eyes out while you are exploring, OK?
