Role Playing

Last night, Millie was trying to tell Jacade something as he was walking into the bedroom (and not paying attention) and Millie kept saying, "I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you." Like, stop walking and pay attention to me while I'm talking to you!

And then when I was getting her ready for bed, she told me to stay on the couch while she went to brush her teeth. She said, "Stay here. I do by myself. You hear me? Say yes ma'am." And I've been trying to work real hard with her about using her manners, so she was just repeating me, I guess.

IT'S OFFICIAL......

As of the end of 29 months, beginning of 30 months - MILLIE IS POTTY-TRAINED!!!! She now only needs a diaper when she naps or sleeps at night. And even if we have no panties clean and she has to wear a diaper, she always goes in the bathroom, takes off the diaper, uses the bathroom and then we have to put the diaper back on.

This past weekend we went to Savannah to celebrate Jacade's birthday and I only used 2 diapers on her all weekend, including the traveling back and forth. I put a pull-up on for the ride down/back and she went to the bathroom every time we stopped.

She always says, "I do like Mommy."

Millie asked her first "why?" this morning

Jacade and Millie had to take me to work this morning because Jacade's truck is broken (as of yesterday). Millie noticed that the sun was up, but that the moon was also up. And I've told her that when the sun comes up, the moon goes down, and vice versa. So she looked over at the moon and said, "The moon is up. But the sun is up. Why is the moon up too?" And Jacade tried to explain to her about the earth being on a different axis. And she was fine with that.

But it's funny that she is now starting to really comprehend things that we tell her. And she is just so hungry for knowledge. I know this is just the beginning of all the "why's".

She also said this morning while she was eating her Cheerios in the car, "Y'all want some?" OMG, she just said "y'all!"

Millie's first trip to the Dentist!!!

Today (11/4) was Millie's first trip ever to the Dentist. Jacade took her this morning at 9:30 a.m. He told me that when he arrived, there was a book called, "Dora goes to the dentist," and he quickly read it to her, showing her all the different tools they would be using.

When they were called back, Millie hopped right into the chair. They leaned her chair back and put the light in her face. They took x-rays and told her to open up real big and bite down. She did all of that with no problems. They put the little mirror in her mouth and looked around. They even poked all around in her mouth and on her teeth and she never once flinched.

The dentist and hygienist, everyone in there, were all just amazed at how well she acted and behaved. I made the appointment for her because I was concerned because she had a little discoloring on her two front teeth. But the dentist said that it was because all of the enamel didn't form there. She told Jacade not to be concerned about it.

She got a little goodie bag with a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss and a couple of prizes. We're both so proud of her.
