Lauren does the cutest things ever.
These days she likes to point at people in her vicinity and say,
"I'm watching YOU...I'm watching YOU... I'm watching YOU..."
Also she cups both her hands under her chin and says, "What's yo name?"
Of course, she has no idea what she is asking because when we ask her the same question, she always mumbles some nonsense.
She is also the friendliest kid ever...saying and waving hi to strangers and smiling sweetly. Her friendliness is conditional though...you have to stay at least 2 feet away from her. Any closer, and all that sweetness is gone, especially if you happen to be a male with a beard. She's cool with kids and dogs though.
Here are some developments from the past several months:
-She can carry on a conversation. The very first one went like this:
Lauren: Mommy, where are you going?
Me: Target
Lauren: Oh
Me: I'll be back. Bye.
Lauren: OK. Bye-bye.
Not very interesting. I know.
-She can sing a whole bunch of songs like ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, London Bridges, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and I Love You. Plus, she is an expert at mashing them all together to make a new song.
-She loves lotion, chapstick, nail polish, bags, and shoes.
-Months ago, we thought Lauren was potty trained since she would always let us know when she had to go poop before going. I thought, "Wow, potty training is gonna be a piece of cake this time around". I was duped. I guess she's decided that telling us about her business is no fun.
-I don't know when this happened exactly, but she is an angel whenever she is in the car now. Sanity has been restored - at least in the car.
-She doesn't like being read to. Seriously, I thought all kids love being read to, but everytime I try to read to her, she says, "Wait, wait, wait, wait" and takes the book so she can read it herself.
