1. Laura Beth is 2 going on about 4. She is such a grown soul like her Daddy. Little about her is a "just turned two year old." However, she is still quite addicted to her pacifier and blankie and potty training.. not so interested. We are going to tackle the potty training soon in hopes of getting her into Primrose school soon. But, I admit I am not so anxious about the pacifier and blankie. It's her only "babyness."
2. Laura Beth has know her alphabet including recognizing the letters and knowing their sounds since she was 18 months old. She is still obsessed with letters and will point them out everywhere without hesitation.
3. She can count to 30 but often skips a few of her teens. She knows all of her shapes and colors. Even shapes like a star and diamond and colors like "light blue" (she says). She can recognize all of her coins except the nickel and more recently learned her days of the week. The cutest part is when she says "Mom, guess what...." "what" I ask. "It's Friday, Monday.. What comes next Mom?"
4. Last one.. she now knows about 45 sight words. For you "non teachers" those are the most frequently used words in the English language like "the, "and".. etc. I know that seems crazy but I really feel guilty for not teaching her more of them. I rarely spend time on them and she loves learning new things. She will get flash cards and ask to go over them or play a "matching game."
5. She loves to eat.. mostly small frequent meals. Her favorites are applesauce and yogurt. She loves her fruit and vegetables... She does love sweets too. #1 favorite would be gummies and Daddy is guilty of getting them for her everytime he goes to the store.
6. Laura Beth is wearing a solid 3T. She has always been in the 100 percentile for height and weight. She goes through clothes like crazy.. always growing!
7. She loves the outdoors .. like her Daddy.
8. Laura Beth just started to watch t.v. in the past month. I used to try everything to get those few minutes of quiet time. Nothing! And, now she likes to watch Dragon Tails, American Idol, and Turkey Hunting with Daddy. Who could have ever guessed!!!!!
9. She loves to color, play play-doh, etc. I think she may be artistic.... loving art and music.
10. She loves her baby dolls and role playing. She'll push them in stroller, rock them, feed them and even burp her babies. She reads to her babies, etc. She loves to pretend.
Last but not least... Laura Beth is very fiesty!! Head strong and will attempt to tell me and Landon what to do. She says "because I said so" and will yell "Heather... or Landon...."
So here's some bragging and a bit of what Laura Beth is into these days. We had a great time celebrating her 2nd birthday. We had a party with her little friends at Gymboree Saturday and will celebrate with close friends and family at Mom's this weekend.
