after work i stopped in to spend time with my favorite granddaughter. U is 2 years old and the joy of the my life. we have a routine. we play 'two the same' which is a game that involves finding two tiles with the same pictures. U loves this game...we don't play it very long as her attention tends to wander at an amazing rate. we read books, played with her babies & stuffed animals, rode her bike (a new skill), she enjoys her ipad and had some new stuff to show me. she ate dinner and then we played more 'two the same'. we read several books...her current favorite is a brian whitsmith abc book...a is for ardvark, b is for butterfly etc. at each page U says "pleased to meet you aardvark, pleased to meet you butterfly" etc. i could eat her up!! time for a bath/math. the bathtub is the perfect place for learning math, her nesting cups provide endless fascination as we move water from one cup to another, or use the cups to fill a big bucket. we almost always blow bubbles and she loves to soap up herself and then swim like a fishy. water is such an amazing substance...totally alters ones consciousness, it calms the nerves and creates a very reverent mood. after bath we brushed our teeth and flossed. she loves this part of our routine "its picey" she says with a big smile (she's talking about the toothpaste). pj's next and then its time for me to leave for my dance class.
