Thanks to little Ruby we now have "Ducky" and "Doggy". Thanks Ruby!
"Gammaw" also made it's first appearance this morning when I asked Uly, who was waving the phone at me, whom he wanted to call.
So many other changes have taken place for us over the past couple of weeks. Most importantly (to me, anyway) is that ULY SLEEPS!!! Naps have started earlier and are about 1/2 as long as before, and bedtime is now starting to hover consistently around 7-7:30 and lasting until about 6AM with only a few interruptions during the night instead of the previously typical 6 or 7 awakenings. HURRAY!!!!!
Behaviorly, Uly has definatly entered into a more confident/defiant phase. It will be interesting to see how these charactaristics evolve as we work with him on learning how to handle himself as he grows into a grown-up person. So far, the very swift, unemotional removal of little person from the object of misdeed has been extremely effective. The second I loose my cool it becomes a game, so I guess the same is true for adults and arguments. To me at least, NOTHING is worse than not getting a reaction...
On the Fun Front we are now able to enjoy all of the fun outdoorsy and wet places Oak Ridge and the surrounding area has to offer. We're eating tons of strawberries straight out of Judie and Bob's garden, and swimming in public pool and scouting bugs. The object I'm most excited about at the moment is my new bike trailer that I've been using to haul Uly around in. He LOVES IT. I don't think anything feels so good as to be cheered on by your kiddlet while peddling ferociously toward some destination. Win-win!
