Well we are at the 29th month and boy has the time gone by quick. As they all do at this age they talk up a storm, Savannah loves to check daddy and mommy out every night with her stethoscope, make sure we are ok. She puts it on her ears and says mommy ok, mommy cough daddy got a boo, ok band aid. We think she will go to school to be a doctor. Savannah counts up to ten gets a little messed up only on 7 and 8. It was funny we went to a birthday party Saturday her friend Liam who was 4 and all Savannah could say in the car was (ok Liam I'm coming wait) almost like she meant I'm on my way to see you. We love to read to Savannah every night and she now has decide to read to me in her own funny way, but she says loudly at the very end of the book THE END. As for toilet training as mentioned we are done and have been for 2.5 months now. When the phone rings Savannah has to answer it she says (hello, wait a minute) that is priceless then she either passes the phone to me or hangs up on you, depends what kind of a day she has had.

We start o go to bed around 7:30pm, Dave and I take turns. Its usually 30-40 mins then she falls asleep, I have started holding her hand while she lies down and she holds mine very tightly I am noticing she feels very secure when I do this. I tell her I am here, love you, mommy sleeping and then usually once asleep I slide my hand away and put a soft toy in its place so she thinks I am still there. Savannah is not a fan of heat and it needs to be kept cool in her room she sleeps better. I am finding I am waking up around 2am or 4am myself to cover her up because she does feel cold, you would think I would try and sleep through but after 1.5 years of not having this (every night is different) I automatically wake up 2-3 times per night myself. Savannah loves Dora as mentioned before she wiggles her bum at the end of it, it is the cutest think (but don't forget we must join in with her). One thing I learned from Dee Paddock last weekend was (and its working) when Savannah has a little hissy fit because she wants something and I am against it (whether its a chocolate cookie at night or just to browse through the cupboards because she loves to get up on the counter and go Ummhhh, and see what she can find. Well I just ignore her and walk away, she cries for about 2 mins and then I call her name and say Savannah were are you she says right her and I distract her from what it is she wants and we are all ok. If I give in to her needs all the time it will increase and she will have us running like mad people (even though we are doing this right now), but if you learn to walk away her demands like this will decrease. She wanted Barnie on last night at 7:30pm, and I said no its bedtime so she started to cry and jump up and down, I did not give in I turned off the t.v and said say good night to everyone, say goodnight to Barnie and she was totally fine. She is now anxiously waiting for us to put up the tree and see Santa soon. I am not at all worried about her speech she is ahead of the game, and her weight and height are coming along just fine, boy is she flexible, she loves to sit on the carpet with her puzzles in the splits position, I hope to put her back into gymnastics when she is 3 this way she can do it alone and we do not participate. Thursday is her 6 month paediatrician appointment we are very very pleased with her progress and development.
