Adelyn These Days

She is getting bigger by the second, I swear. Adelyn is repeating virtually every word or phrase Paul and I say now, so we have to be extra careful because she seems to have a memory like an elephant! We tried to put her in big girl panties and potty train Mother's Day weekend, while Pauls parents were in town. It became quite obvious that she is close to being ready but not quite there. She knows when she needs to go to the potty, but either wont sit long enough or just refuses to sit at all. I figure in another few weeks we will make a go at it again. I dont want to make the potty something she fears! She has gotten superb at the alphabet. She can point out and tell you every letter and several mornings she has woken us up singing her ABCs. I am not 100% certain, but I really feel as if she is going to be a lefty. While sometimes she will eat or color with her right hand, the majority of the time she uses her left. Adelyn also LOVES reading. She gets on kicks with her favorite books and will take them to bed with her so that she can read them before going down or after she wakes up. It is cute to hear her, because I know exactly which part of what book she is on based on the noises coming from her room. She is also very into Mickey Mouse now. One weekend I was away Paul put on Disney Jr and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse came on- needless to say, that is the only show she requests to watch any more. I hear 'now i know my ABCs next time wont you sing with me' coming from the room, so I will go check in on our little brainiac :)
