We haven't written in a while but here are some new tidbits about Lexi.
1) Today, we had Pizza Hut personal pan pizzas for lunch. Lexi hungrily polished half of mine. That girl can eat when she wants to!
2) She keeps saying 'be back' - as in Mom will be back at the end of the day to pick me up from day care. I think it is less of a hardship for her to be there but she still cries every morning when I leave her. She now goes every day with the family picture clutched in her hands. One of the teachers suggested this might help her feel more calm. Not sure if it does or not.
3) She is indicating more and more when she needs her wet pants changed but still refuses to even sit on the potty. Sigh.
4) Monday, Lexi will move with the other bigger kids into the other day care building. As school is starting, the 5 yr olds have left, leaving space for the just turned twos. Will this be any better for her?? I hope it's not worse at least!
5) Mom and Dad are being firmer and sticking with 'no' when we say 'no.' I think she is slowly getting used to this though there is still a fair amount of drama involved.
6) She is finally enjoying riding on Dad's shoulders. It used to cause her to cry, but she thinks it is fun now - especially when Dad 'gallops' like a horse.
7) Her 'thank yous' and 'welcomes' are coming more automatically now and she even says 'I lebe you' every once in a while. She is also picking up new words from day care and seems to be trying to count more.

OK, now I feel better. Calla resolutely refuses to sit on her potty (sans diaper, that is). By the degree she freaks out when I suggest it, you'd think it was rimmed with barbed wire. I'm told she'll do it at day care occasionally, but now won't get close at home.
I keep reminding myself that no one goes to kindergarten with diapers, right? We'll all get there eventually.
Sounds like lots of growth to me. No one goes to kindergarten with diapers, but once in a while there is still and accident.
