Bad Mommy

I have been a very bad mommy by not updating this blog with the adorable and funny and amazing things Selby has been doing for the past few months. Here is a quick rundown, and a commitment to write more regulalry in this blog.

1) Cookie in There
Starting this summer, everytime I went to change her diaper, she would look up at me with a mischeivious smile and say "Cookie in there" and point toward her diaper. Honestly, Tom and I have not been able to figure out what this means. Does she think her poop looks like a cookie? Is she saying the cookie went through her and came out in her diaper? No idea. But she still says it everyonce in a while and I just go along with it.

2)Potty Party
We bought her a potty and she loves it. I wouldn't necessarily say we've started potty training her. We let her sit on it and go through the motions (wiping, flushing, washing hands). It was like a new toy to her. I thought, wow toilet training will be so easy, she loves sitting on it...until the morning she stood up from her potty, went to flush it and pooped right there on the bathroom floor. I don't think she's fully grasped the purpose of the potty yet.

3)Talk, Talk
She is now using full sentences. And, to brag a bit, every day care or child care provider we leave her with comments on how well she speaks. I can't even count the number of words she knows now but almost every day she surprises me with a new one.

4) Cry Please
The other day I faked crying when she wouldn't give me a kiss (is that bad?) and she thought it was so funny. Now at dinner she asks me to "cry please mama" as if it's a game. Tom and I take turns fake crying for her and then we ask her to "cry please." We also fake laugh. She's a good faker too.

Will post photos soon!
