Nursery Time!

Out of all the ways Aurora as progressed in the last few months one of the things I'm proudest of is the church side. She loves going to church. She gets really excited as we walk through the car park towards the chapel. She also folds her arms for prayers and recognises Jesus. She can say his name (kind of) and does whenever she sees a picture of him. We have a picture of him on the landing and whenever she goes to bed she waves goodnight to it.

Last week was her first official week in nursery. Not only did she not cry when I left, she didn't care. She was too busy playing. As long as there's food, toys and other children to play with she's happy. It is a little sad when she doesn't seem to miss me, but I am relieved she is this way as that is how we've tried to raise her.

Izzy Whizzy Let's Get Busy!

2 months ago now I started looking after another baby, a 5 month old girl named Izzy. It is a challenge, not just adjusting to looking after 2, but looking after one that's not mine and who I don't love as much as Aurora. I was surprised how quickly and well Aurora adjusted to the change, quicker than I did. She still gets upset when she wants my attention and can't have it, but she is 18 months old.  She loves playing with Izzy and 'helping' with things like bottles and changing. They are very cute together.

Who's the best? Aurora!

Aurora's favourite word is her own name. She loves it, especially now she has discovered princess Aurora and realised how much princess stuff she actually has. Because of this we like to ask her questions to which Aurora can be or is the answer. For example, what's you name? Who's the best? Who's beautiful? Who's a silly girl? When we ask these questions she doesn't just say her name, she announces it, usually raising one or both hands in the air. Sometimes she says daddy instead, but that can be funny too depending on the question.
