So, it's been a year since I wrote in this blog. That just goes to show how busy a person can be with ONE child! Last time I wrote, Charlee was 1. So much has changed since then. She's 2 now, obviously, and is getting bigger every day. The biggest achievement is that she started daycare in February. It was a transition for all of us, since she had been with a private sitter for almost 2 years. I've had some issues, but overall, it's been a great thing for Charlee. She's grown and is learning so much. She sings her ABC's, she counts to about 14, she is much more verbal now. Her favorite words are "NO", or "MINE". She also says things like..."not yet, 5 minutes, right here, I'm sorry mama, come Rocco, mommy's coffee"....and much more. She loves watching Tangled, Frozen, Little Mermaid, and 101 Dalmations, which she calls the "doggie movie". She also likes Funniest Home Videos and Family Feud. I don't care, judge me for allowing her to watch TV, but this mama needs some free time in the day!
Health wise, she's doing great too. Her cleft appointment in March went great. She is being referred for a speech evaluation, which is next week. She isn't saying certain sounds right, so we're going to see if she needs some speech therapy. She has been sick a lot since starting school. I'm talking 5 times in 5 weeks, but she has been doctor free for over a month now...knock on wood!
I'm about to be on summer vacation, so I look forward to spending more time with her. Although she will be going to school during the summer, I'll only send her a few days a week. I have to pay full price anyway, so might as well send her right? I may look into gymnastics classes for her and take her to Disney or something.
Overall, being her mommy is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She's funny, she's entertaining, she's sweet, she's happy, and of course she's super smart! She's loved by all who knows her. I thank God for her everyday and pray that he will continue to protect her and watch over her forever.
