More changes for our little girl. I think she's always like to sing and dance, but I really think that dance class is starting to have an impact. Each time I watch her perform her moves for us on the "dance floor" that is the area rug in our living room, I wonder if we're watching a future dance star. I say that thinking of the home movies you see of the people on the reality shows.
Abbi loves to dance. Most nights she clamors for our attention so she can show off some new creative moves she's been working on. Sometimes she wants to dance with me, other times she's just looking for spectators. Of recent topic she's been working on her saults. Such as the somersault, "fall"sault, "winter"sault, and "spring"sault.
The desire for her mom's attention has only gotten worse. She at times seems to have deepened her dependency on Jenn, and her desire to only have "Mommy" fix her issue. There are times when I can step in and help out, and others she just blows up at me and demands Jenn. One interesting thing, if we prep her by discussing what is about to happen, she often does well regardless of who's helping her or what we're doing. Unfortunately we can't always plan ahead for her whats going to happen.
This past month of course included the culmination of 3 months of discussion and waiting to dress up as Puss-N-Boots. She did great trick or treating, and really enjoyed getting dressed up. I was worried there would be costume aspects that she would immediately shed, like the hat or sword, but that didn't happen. She stayed in costume the whole time she was out!
We're still working through sleep issues, which isn't really all that surprising. But things have improved. She's also starting to develop a few less than desirable habits, such as not quite telling the truth. I wouldn't call them lies, but she's starting to stretch the truth, or omit things. Yet another fun challenge of being a parent, that like all the others, we're woefully unprepared for :)
