That Funny Girl

Lexi asked to take her nap today. So I put her in her bed sans her pants because it was getting warm. 20 minutes later she is still not sleep but just talking to herself. That's no problem - but when I look at her, I see that she is no longer wearing her diaper. That IS a problem. I replace her diaper and she does eventually go to sleep. I am not quite convinced that this is any sign that she is ready for toilet training. There is still no desire or interest or understanding that she needs to sit on her potty. Instead she wants to take the little yellow bowl out and put water in it or pretend to drink from it or take that part to a different part of the house. None of which that little yellow bowl is intended for.

I was looking online at a site that talked about a bike ride that takes place in the nude to protest gasoline use, etc. Lexi clearly knows what naked is and pointed to the appropriate pictures. Smart cookie, hmm? Don't worry, we are not participating in that bike ride though I did just order a bike seat online for Lexi. She sounds interested in riding on the bike. Hopefully, she will be when the seat comes.

This morning we went to play group. She actually shared something with one of the other kids - I was pretty surprised. She normally wants to say that things are hers (MINE!).

We were sitting outside on the porch late this afternoon. I suggested that we go la-la (sleep) in our chairs. Even though her head is all sweaty because of the heat, she insisted that I get her blanket for her.
