Have I mentioned how much I love this age? I do. In all the years I've been around children, this age (age 1) until they're about three is my absolute favorite. I love how they discover to do so many new things, hearing their little voice talk....and let's just face it, they're just so stinkin' cute.
As always, I notice Vienna changing nearly weekly. Sometimes in big things, sometimes in small things. Two weeks ago we tackled a big change in potty training (just a quick update: she's doing awesome--we've managed to go through a couple days with 0 accidents, some days are better than others but we're learning and she's doing so good!) This week, it's a small little discovery called coloring. Vienna noticed the box of crayons and coloring pages I'd left out for my nephews over the weekend and she was pretty insistent about playing with them. I was wary just because I knew she only just liked to stick the crayons in her mouth...kids menu's + crayons in restaurants have proven that, and then she'd toss them on the floor and be done. But I set her down on the chair anyway and suddenly she decided she liked to color. Not just one little scribble and we're done, nope--actually interested enough to spend a significant amount of time picking crayons out of the box and scratching them on the paper. We've colored everyday since then, and I admit, it's a nice little distraction.
Yet another discovery in this great big world.
