Let's Try this Again

So I'm well aware that it's been virtually two years since I tried to Blog. So, why not give it a solid shot again?!?!

Hannah's moved on into the wonderful world of Two's!

Our days are filled with "NOs" and tantrums. Along with the ongoing trial & error of potty training. We resorted to the reward of M&Ms  - Yes, I broke down and gave the child chocolate. The allure of chocolate animal crackers were not what they first were. Although they had their successful moments - she get's that her friends at school are getting something else!

The teachers at Hannah's school are fabulous! Not only do they do her hair almost everyday (How they pull such wispy fine hair back, I still have no idea)

Hannah can attempt to sing you her ABC's - skipping a few but, mostly has it ! She does great picking letter magnets off the frig and telling me which ones they are. She is really getting into counting as well! We've been counting the steps in the house for months but, now she get's that other stuff can be sorted and counted more and more. I'm in shock when she does this stuff!!!

Lately our favorite thing is books, books & more books. If we read the stories enough times she will recite them with you!!! At school the class favorite is "Panda Bear, Panda Bear What do you See?" (by Eric Carle) So typically any other book at home or in the car is appropriated to that story line - She will pick out images from current book and say in the sing songy voice asking "kitty cat, kitty cat what do you see?" even if that isn't what the book is about. It's quite entertaining when she turns the books around like She's the teacher to read to me in the car (or to her baby doll - "baby Mya")

Stay Tuned - We'll try to keep you more and more up to date on the happenings and growing up of Hannah!
