Hockey Season Starts For Savannah's Brother

Well we will be off to the arena once a week to see Ross play, I am sure Savannah will enjoy this. She already runs around with her brothers mini stick and ball and really knows how to hold to stick its so funny. Savannah is doing good at telling me when she wants to poop, she points to herself and crouches down in the corner. Her hair is in pigtails now growing too fast I don't want to get it cut I want it long. We are off to the Santa Claus parade in November downtown, and hope to go to the GTA xmas party early December. Well Savannah loves ham, she eats lots of it and loves ketchup (I only allow a little of this, I think it the colour). She tires to clean her 2 teeth that she has when daddy cleans his. She now gives her brothers kisses when they ask which I thought was cute. Another new word this week is car, stick. Well she is still fighting yet another cold and cough must be the 6th one since May. Her new trick with me is when I say its diaper change she runs and hides from me then its a game. I hope to start potty training in December we shall see. Well I am glad to say she is now drinking lots of milk from her sippy cup which is good since she would not drink any when we were in China. We have had a routine for the last couple of months now, nap at 11am - for 1.5 hours, then bed around 7-7:15pm, it takes about 20-30 mins until she falls asleep since she still flip flops around. Its around 6am-6:30am when she rises, with the odd wake up in between but nothing that gets us out of bed (but you never know). We took Savannah to a indoor playground Saturday and she loved it, she can climb up onto a frame and go down the slide alone. This is the same as playgroup I started taking her in June e and she could not crawl now she climbs onto the trampoline, fire truck, slide the girls just love her, we go to 2 different playgroups 4 times a week the only day we get off is Thursday. Savannah has made lots of friends and so have I, but for sure every day I get "oh she's so small" so my come back is yes but very smart. Well she will be Giraffe Tuesday night I hope to take photos.
