Tales from the Crib, Part 3

Bennett has recently gone through a growth spurt, causing her to eat ferociously and she has also been back to napping for 2.5-3 hours a day.  That has been lovely!! I also realized tonight that her two top 2-year-old molars are finally coming in.  She got the bottom two a couple months ago, and they were really rough for her.  We went through a lot of children's Motrin! Considering she hasn't had any problems so far with the top ones, and they are both broken through already, I'm hoping that they will finish coming in pain free.  

Today was the first day in about a week that she didn't nap.  I was surprised because we played all morning at the park with her friend Peyton.  Peyton and Bennett are so funny together.  They are definitely the two most verbal kids in our playgroup, so they are able to carry on conversations with each other.  They also spent about 20 minutes swinging and singing songs together.  It was so adorable.  They took turns choosing songs, so they ended up singing the ABCs, the Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle, Happy Birthday and London Bridge.  

Bennett talked and talked in her crib today.  Finally, for the last 10 minutes or so, I stopped what I was doing and sat down to record what she was saying.  So here you go: Tales from the Crib: Part 3 (remember while your reading these that she still has trouble with pronouns and often refers to herself as you/your):

1. Sang the Wheels on the Bus many times-she included the kitties, puppies, mommies, babies and chicks

2. Sang the Dora theme song.  She even has the d-d-d-d-d-Dora part down!

3. Go in your big girl room, not in your baby room.  This is your baby room.  Bennett will move into her big girl bed when the baby comes.  The baby will not sleep in her pack n play.

4. That feels nice.  Yawning is nice.  She's not yawning mommy.  She's just playing!

5. Want to snuggle in big girl room with Mommy and you'll sleep a LONG time!

6. Told Swiper to go away.  Grumpy old troll wasn't here.  Swiper was here.  Told Swiper to go away! (Dora characters for those of you who are not familiar!)

7. Puppy didn't see you.  Bennett peeked.  What's the problem puppy? Why are you crying?

8. Mommy, could I get ready to get out of bed? You could bring hippo or Jelly cat or Lamby.  Those are your choices!

9. Mommy I have a little mush on my shirt!
