Every morning Eva comes into our room, crawls up on the bed and kisses Amanda, saying "Hi, sister!" Then she kisses me good morning, says "Hi, Mommy!", and heads off with Daddy to eat oatmeal. It's her own little morning ritual. Eva constantly surprises me with little things she says or does that show how much she knows already. A couple days ago we came home from an errand, and when I tried to get Eva out of her car seat, she pretended to be asleep. Where did she learn that, or did she just come up with that herself? When I teased her, "you're not asleep, silly!", she tried to fight a smile with her eyes still closed, and then started giggling. It was really cute. At the community center, her favorite activity is the toy kitchen. She'll pretend to cook and serve the food, wash the dishes in the sink, and then dry her hands. I'd love to get her a toy kitchen for Christmas, but we don't have room for it, so that'll have to wait.
Eva has become somewhat attached to certain cartoons now, and will specifically ask to watch Dora or Mickey. They're free On Demand, and I sometimes put one on to buy time to make dinner and such. She's very observing, and I'll catch her quoting "Oh, Toodles!" from Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, or patting her knees while saying "pat, pat" to help power the rocket on Baby Einsteins. Good thing these shows are halfway educational, because she's certainly paying attention. She likes Sesame Street, too. Her favorite book right now is Curious George, so we'll see where that goes.
