While we were outside coloring and practicing letters Savvy noticed there was a hot air balloon flying in the distance. Wow was it fun to watch! While staring it down and pointing she would say “Ba-oon!!!”. It’s the little black dot out in the sky – she really has keen eyesight!!
I didn’t notice until I was editing the pictures but she looks so much older in this one, must be the hands on her hips!!
Friday was not one of Savannah’s happiest days, best we can figure she is teething again complete with a nose running like crazy and general whining. In a effort to help her mood (and to let me get some work done in peach – bless him!) Marc took Savannah to the store with him to pick up a few things. When they arrived home she had a new big purple bouncy ball and was happy as can be!
Not much later when it was time for her nap she would not part with it. Not a big deal except it took some creativity to keep hold of it while reading a couple books and snuggling. The end result:
She has since slept without the ball but still carrying and tossing it around a lot downstairs. She is now very skilled at maneuvering around with it although she hasn’t figured out how to carry it up the stairs with her yet. This afternoon she clung onto it while Daddy ready her some books (little ones she stores in her shopping cart).
We received notice that Savannah's teacher resigned about a month ago. Which stinks because I really liked her and she seemed to really like Savannah (well really, who doesn't).
This week she's been in the room next door to her normal room as they are going to paint her old room. When I picked her up today the school's director and her teacher told me she had actually spent time in the two year old room. Not only did she have fun, I was told, but as you see from the picture she tried the potty! I haven't even thought about potty training except to say no when people ask if I am doing it yet. Since her school does not require it until 3 and we already have a lot going on I'm in no big rush. So yes, I was very surprised that she tried it.
Where's my baby gone?! :-)
We took the plunge and decided to dye eggs with Savannah this year. Four colors (pink, teal, orange and purple) as those were the food coloring colors I had on hand, a whisk, a dozen hard boiled eggs and we were ready..
The whisk was an effort to minimize the mess and cleanup along with doing it on the back porch so any spills would just be on the concrete. Our first egg went really well with just one near spill – caught just in time!
The second went well but then the impatience settled in.. I don’t know if I didn’t use enough color or it normally takes a while to get the vibrant colors but Savannah didn’t like the waiting. To fill the time she tried other things like eating an egg..
Playing with the dye spots on the ground..
Checking out her belly
Then reorganizing the eggs (they started in the big carton with the idea of moving to the small when colored)..
She was able to load the eggs into the whisk by herself (VIDEO: Loading the Whisk) but without help, would crush them trying to remove.. We ended up with 3 out of 12 crushed which seemed like a good end to me!
Since she stuck her hand in the cups a couple times and was handling the eggs to put into the carton after dyeing she ended up with some nice bright hands.. Marc tried to clean her up in the sink for a couple minutes but then realized it was almost bath time which would be easier.
And our finished eggs!
The shopping cart Savannah received for Christmas is still a big hit, now complete with sound!
