Today’s new word of the day from Bella: “Mama, go now!” as she runs to the back door and tugs on the handle. It’s definitely a cognitive step up from her previous, “Go, go!”
I didn’t realize she understood “now” and “later”. But I guess she does understand me when I say, “We’re not going now, we’re going later.” And today she wanted no part of it. I’d told her earlier that she’d be going to visit her cousins later while I went to the doctor. She must have thought she’d waited long enough.
It’s the sweet taste of freedom…
The skill of eating and the skill of sitting down are sometimes learned separately. My husband and I are still working on that with our two and a half year old son, Patrick. Food on the go seems to work well. Good luck!
I am glad to know this is a toddler issue and not my daughter’s issue
RCM,
That’s one reason I love reading mom blogs, so reassuring. There have been many times I’ve realized something Bella does is not just her but other people’s toddlers do it too.
