Life as a one year old

We are having so much fun with our little girl at the moment.  She has developed in leaps and bounds in the last month or so.  She is fully immersed into life at day care three days a week while I go to work, and in the last week hasn't cried when I drop her off (Massive achievement!).  Life at day care consists of a very structure routine which I love....and they do lots of singing, reading books, painting, drawing and of course playing outside which Bubba G loves.  We have been very impressed with the fact that she now says "Oh Oh..." when she drops something or falls over and is learning the hand actions to twinkle twinkle little star and the itsy bitsy spider.  And not to mention the fact that she insist on feeding herself at all meal times so dinners at our place are very messy at the moment!

Reading books to her are becoming much more fun too as she can actually sit through about two or three pages before getting bored. Her favourite book at the moment is the "Gruffalo"but a few months back it was "Hairy Maclary".

Her absolute favourite thing to do at the moment though is to DANCE! she loves loves loves to dance.  If given the opportunity, the girl will dance to anything.  Although her favourite song to dance to right now is "Jail house rock" by Elvis Presley.

Every Thursday we attend rhyme time at the local book shop and it is the best half hour of the week with her.  No need to say more about this, you just need to watch the video below!
