Yesterday Callie was trying to tell me that she wanted some milk. At first, I wasn't sure what she wanted because she can't talk very clearly, but i knew she wanted something because she kept running in and out of the kitchen hollering at me. I stood up and walked to the entrance of the kitchen and asked her what she wanted. She then walked behind me and placed her hands on my bottom and directed (pushed) me forward until I was in the kitchen. She then pointed to the cabinet where her sippy cups rest. I guess we are entering the "pushing and pulling mommy to where I want her to be" stage.
Yesterday, we got off making lunch late, so Callie was pretty restless and impatient for her food to come. While I was in the process of making her lunch I ask, "do you think you can pick up some of your toys before we eat?" Immediately, Callie steps into action and picks up most of her toys. I was in awe (Her usual picking up means me giving her a toy and asking where it goes). Note to Self: Callie obeys when bribed by food.
Last night Callie was being rather quiet. So I went looking to see what she was doing. I found her curled up in Ellie's carseat, Ellie's pacifier in her mouth, and rocking herself. I guess we all need to be the baby sometimes.
It made me smile today when after emptying the remains of a gallon of milk into Callie's sippy cup that she walked into the pantry and opened up the recycling bin and in Callie words told me to put the milk jug in there. Way to be green.
Today Callie helped me feed Elliott. It was funny because Callie was holding and drinking her sippy cup in one hand and in the other hand holding up Ellie's bottle. She's already mulitasking; she'll be a great mom.
