Play-Doh

A new quiet activity - her current favorite thing to do is just remove the play-doh from the container and then put it back in the container and put the lid back on and then say "open" start all over again. Open is a word that we are hearing a lot from her. The other day she got in the car and saw the watermelon that I had just purchased and said, "watermelon, Mama open".

She also uses the animal shape cutters to make elephants, horses and ducks and then "walks" them around the tray while making the appropriate animal sounds.

Mama's Shoes

We had just walked in the house from work/daycare. I took off my shoes and left them by the door. A few minutes later, Juliana walked in the room with my shoes on over her shoes. She walked all around the room and was so pleased with herself.

At daycare she is constantly being reminded to leave her shoes on - so whenever we take our shoes off at home, she picks them up and brings them to us and says "shoes on" or "mama's shoes" or "daddy's shoes".

Hugs

Juliana and her cousin Sara.

Happy 4th of July
