Valéria’s turn to potty train

Valeria, Alexandra doesn’t use diapers anymore. You should do the same thing. Go pee in the potty. 

And Valeria, without skipping a beat, “and get lolis!”

Valéria remembers where things are

She remembers where she left toys. You ask her - where’s the white dog that belongs in the castle? 

She’ll tell you exactly where it is. 

And if you say - can you get it? 

She’ll go and get it at the exact place she told you. 

Some day this week I asked Valeria where the white dog was. She said, “in the bedroom”. 

“No. I was in the bedroom. Where is it?”

“In the bedroom.”

So I went to the bedroom to proof her wrong, just to find the white dog where she told me it was. 

And that’s why I felt so bad when I asked her about her toy cell phone and she said “Eu quesceu.”

Alexandra’s blue dress memory

Alexandra remembers things. 

This past Christmas, on the way to Ohio, we bought her a blue dress that she immediately fell in love with. 

Well, she got it dirty while in Ohio and I told her she had to take it off for bed bc it had to be washed. I’d wash it and dry it that night and she could wear it when she woke up in the morning. 

Ok. She took it off and went to sleep. And fell asleep shortly after, and didn’t do laundry. 

So the next day, as soon as she opened her eyes the first words out of her mouth were:

I’ll wear my blue dress. My mom washed it last night. 

Ouch. 

Valeria’s words

Valéria 

Gogo guffins - doc mcstuffins 

Oimoit - Walmart 

Her R sou s like EE

Roar - rói 

More - mói

Breath, Valeria

Valeria cries. That’s what she does.

Everything makes her cry. And once she starts getting td hard to stop her and reason, which is why I asked her to do. 

This weekend I came up with an idea. 

I ask her to breath in and breath out deeply. 

I showed her how it’s done. She did it with me. 

It made her stop crying 

It is very cute to see her trying to do the deep breaths to calm down. But she is working on them. Everytime I say stop and breath, she does it and tries to calm herself down. Then she listens. 

Potty trained

So Saturday she went potty on her own at the open house for the condo we bought. 

Yesterday, all day she either went without being asked or asked to go. 

I was driving in back roads when I made a turn to get back on main road to get into family dollar. 

Left poor Valeria sleeping in the car and ran inside, asked for a bathroom, and ran. 

Ding ding dong

Yesterday Alexandra pointed at a fast food restaurant and said :

I want to eat at ding ding dong. 

It was Taco Bell.
