For this week’s Baby Blogging, we have a shot of Kate helping SteelyKid with her new favorite game:
It’s called “Take off my shoes, and put them back on.” She can play this for hours. It would be even cuter if she could do the putting on and taking off herself, but alas, she’s still kind of unclear on the solidity of objects, and doesn’t really grasp that her feet can only get into the shoes from the open end. She’ll get there, though.
SteelyKid officially moved out of the infant room at day care this week. She’s now in the next age/ development group, termed “Waddlers” (an intermediate step between “Infants” and “Toddlers”). I very briefly considered going for the alliterative “Wednesday Waddler Blogging,” but regained my senses in time. We’re going to stick with “Thursday Baby Blogging” for a while yet.
This brings back memories. A little over 20 years ago, we took our daughter to a daycare where the toddler room was called the “Stompers.” Another friend’s child attended a daycare where toddlers were known as “Sprouts.”
Ah, I too remember the “waddler” phase. Nora actually got kicked out of the the waddler room for a while because she would only sit in her teacher’s lap when she was supposed to be waddling around. Didn’t last long, though — the infant room was boring by comparison.
