Ana girl

Yesterday for the first time I made playdough for Ana. She liked it for about 10 minutes. (Which was longer than I expected, but shorter than I hoped.) She liked watching me make the playdough as much as playing with it.
She really doesn't stay put for very long right now. Okay, she doesn't stay put ever. So, I'm trying to slowly work her attention span longer by doing activities with her like playdough, coloring and reading books. Since she starts nursery this month, I want try to have activities for her during the week so maybe church will go smoothly for everyone.

Some other things about Ana:

*She really likes putting things away, and running little "errands" between me and Dave.
*She likes having both Mommy and Daddy around.
*She talks a lot, and tries to say almost everything we say to her. Today she said "roni" for marcaroni.
*He brings us the phone almost everyday and says, "call Grandpa." Its really cute to listen to her talk to Grandma and Grandpa on the phone.

How sweet. I think the attention span will lengthen as she grows older. My 3-year old is finally to a stage where she can do stuff on her own & stay put. She's probably been like that for less than a year. Good luck, you're a great mom.

I'm working in the nursery these days, and we always like having parents and their almost-18-month kids visit us, so we can all get to know each other, and the kids can have an opportunity to casually view the pattern we follow and get to know the other kids a little bit. We're getting a new little boy next month whose mom has been bringing him in a little bit now and then for the last month. I think it has really helped him get ready to join us. Have you given Ana a preview yet?
