me and micro me
June 24th, 2008This is really about Me and micro-Doug, but I can humor myself.
As I mentioned earlier, Sylvie’s nanny is ill, so she’s been hanging out with me the past two days. Yesterday she came to the office where she had a great time drawing on the white boards and climbing up and down our step stool. (Imagine that could be 6 hours of fun for someone!)
Today, we’re home watching Sesame Street, having tea parties and cuddling. (Some of us are trying to work through all of this!) She really plays well on her own and also communicates her needs well. I just set out a few props, show her how it is done and she launches into creative, independent play. When she’s hungry, she goes into the pantry and returns with food, saying “Opie.” (Not versed in Sylvie? Opie=open) Tired? She drags her blanket over to me and asks to “Up” on the sofa to cuddle me. Will was never really into Sesame Street, but Sylvie is enjoying it today. She sings and dances along.
No video, but here are a few pictures of the tea party from earlier.
Oh, and here’s a picture of the sweater I knit on our drive to and from Tahoe modeled by my very independent Sylvie. While I was working yesterday, she went into the kitchen, opened the freezer drawer, retrieved coolwhip (we had coolwhip??), sat on her step. I caught her when I heard huge, “YUMMM!”s coming from the steps.
