I am really being careful with what I say around her because she will take things literally, and may also be apt to copy my words. Like the other morning, she said "Mommy, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you." I may have said that a few times to her in the past two weeks....
Her playground skills have impressed me, as she can now climb a lot of the toys herself and doesn't really need me anymore. Yesterday I almost cried when she climbed into the swings and started pumping her legs and didn't need me to push her anymore on the swings.
She's also getting a bit more interested in crafts, as she's been happy to do some colouring, drawing, painting, or making little craft kits that Grandma mails over. Below is a picture that she drew on her easel the other day.
Her memory is really what amazes me the most. If you say that she can have a certain snack or do a certain thing in the future, she will not forget. And during conversations, she will easily make reference to things that happened many many months ago.
As tiring as it's been having both kids at home the past two weeks, I've enjoyed the extra time I've had with Maddy, as she's really beginning to shine and become more independent and before I know it, she won't need her momma anymore.
