What better way to learn how to spell your name than to make edible letters!

Pop

Nati was working by herself at her desk this morning, and I heard her keep saying "Pop" (what we call popcorn). I looked down and there was the word "pop". I didn't believe she wrote it herself, so I asked her to write it again, which she did. I have no idea where she figured out how to do this...

While talking yesterday N made an announcement, "I am not getting married, I am staying like this. I don't want to wear a costume."

"It's fun to sleep by myself!"

We decided to go cold turkey last night, and get N. to start sleeping by herself (without her mother).  So we put an air mattress on the floor (for Carmen to use), and told N. she would be sleeping by herself.  This was all very exciting for her until, of course, it was actually time to sleep by herself.

To say that last night was a battle of wills is a gross understatement.  She screamed, and cried, and negotiated for a hours.  It was exhausting.

"I don't like my bed anymore!"
"I want YOU to sleep next to me!"
"I don't like Daddy"

Finally, at about 2am she gave up, pulled her covers over herself and went to sleep.

When she woke up this morning in her own bed and saw Carmen on the air mattress she cheerily said: "It's fun to sleep by myself!"
