Just yesterday, she decided she had enough of me trying to get her to nap. As I was trying to get her to sleep (at my parents house on the couch) - she kept grabbing a blanket off of the back of the couch so I said "no no you cannot keep grabbing that" and moved her arm. As I said that she replied quietly from behind her binky "SHTOP.IT" (stop.it) - Bad parenting moment: All I could do was laugh!
Today, I tried to once again get her to take a nap this morning and when I finally gave in to her laughs and giggles in her bed - I walked in and she said her FIRST complete sentence/question!....I was amazed. I asked her a good 3-4 times..."What did you say baby?!".....and she pointed at her nightlight and said:
"Do you see dat???"
This is a paw print from the TV show "Blues Clues"
Noelani is BIG on the tv show Blues Clues right now. I happen to really like it for her because they do a lot of sign language on it (which she has been using since she was about 9 months) and it is very educational in the aspect that you get "clues" to find out the answer to the question posed in the beginning of the show. Whenever there is a "clue" you will see the above image on t.v. When the host sees the "clue", he opens both of his hands and closes them really fast as he says "BLUES CLUES...BLUES CLUES". Noelani loves this show and whenever there's an ad for it on t.v. she does this motion I spoke about with her hands and screams "CUES CUES" aka Blues Clues.
Today, we were getting ready to go shopping and for YEARS I've had the below magnet. When we moved into our current place, we just so happened to have a metal door, so I placed this magnet on the door in case I have to write myself a "don't forget me note" (which I tend to write a lot of these days lol!).
As my sister and I were putting on our shoes, we hear Noelani screaming "CUES CUES CUES CUES". I stopped and saw her doing the open/shut hand motion with it as well. I looked around and thought maybe she figured the man on the dog treat bag looked like the host haha!! Then I noticed.....my baby thought she was seeing a "Blues Clues" paw print!!!!!!
She was so darn excited she had found a "Clue" so I had to play along. I told her to hurry up and get Dada so she could show him. She RAN like the wind into the living room and said "Dada Dada" screeching. When he came into the kitchen I said "Noey! What is Blues Clues trying to tell us? We are going bye bye....what do you think we need?"....(The keys were on the hook next to the door) - so I said...."Ohhhh we need our keys to go bye bye!!!!".....
I grabbed the keys for her and she just grinned ear to ear! The simple yet such exciting things that make her happy, make my day. I love the little things that make her smile xoxo
