Toddler Antics

Eva's handling this move a lot better than I expected. She's napping as usual in her room, despite the boxes, and doesn't seem to have any problems sleeping at night. She loves to help by taking things to the trash or "unpacking" anything she can get her hands on. The computer has become a favorite toy, and I just know that one of these days I'm gonna sit down to find all our settings screwed up. Her baby sister is a great source of amusement, if she can get close enough. She'll try to kiss her, feed her a cracker, wipe her face, cover her with a blanket, or enhance her bouncy chair experience with about as much gentleness as you would expect from an active 2-year-old. Sometimes she climbs into the bounce chair herself and uses it as a recliner, until she gets stuck.

Eva yells "oh, gosh!" repeatedly whenever she sees me changing one of Amanda's poopy diapers. She's always asking for soda crackers, apparently considering them a favorite form of cookie. Other favorite "kacks" (snacks) include yogurt, cheese sticks, grapes and bananas. Lately she's started trying to pull down her pants and undoing her diaper, yelling "potty" or claiming to be wet. Looks like it might finally be time to potty train. She's already graduated to size 6 diapers (the largest). Might be more of a challenge now that we have to bundle up more. She's adjusting well to cooler weather, shoes and jackets, though.
