Zatera Ul

OLC is sixteen months old now, still teething, and fighting off a cold to boot. She has been on a big reading kick lately; she will have me read her Dr. Seuss’s The Foot Book to her at least four times in a row, but doesn’t yet have the attention span to make it through One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Her favorite word lately is “uh-oh”, and she particularly watches for the uh-oh moments in the books. “Cookie” is another word that she picked up very quickly!

She also has learned that water on the floor makes a slippery spot and should be wiped up right away. When she finds one, she runs and fetches a towel. She’s been helping me put laundry away for a while now, pulling the clothes out of the baskets for me. A couple of times, she has helped me wash the dishes, though not without a lot of splashing around.

She loves to climb, and is constantly climbing up on our dining room table.
