This is my catch-up post for the last couple weeks of cute Felicity stuff.
A couple weeks ago on some Friday or Saturday when I was around during her nap, we struggled with her a little to get her to go down, but after a while it was quiet in there, so we just let her be. When she woke up, Becky and I went in there to cuddle on her bed. Eventually I looked down and noticed that the pants she was wearing were not the same ones she had on when we put her down. As it turns out, she decided she needed to take off her pants and underwear and put on new ones (both were backwards). Non only that, but she picked out her frilly socks to wear also and put her new tennis shoes on (wrong feet of course). She did all this, and then eventually ended up back in bed and fell asleep for her nap!
Another cute/not-so-cute/devious thing she has started doing is that when I tell her she can’t do something, like jump on the bed, or get out of bed after lights out or something along those lines, she will very obviously tell me “go away Daddy”, even giving me the “talk to the hand” gesture. It was pretty clear to me that she just wanted me to go away so she could do what I was telling her she couldn’t do. I even asked her if that’s why she wanted me to go one time and she said yes! Becky says she doesn’t really do that with her, but she is certainly giving us a little attitude now.
In the past couple of weeks she has finally started showing an interest in her alphabet letters. She started paying attention to the letter of the day on Sesame Street, and she uses the little leap frog refrigerator letters now. She is only up to about 5 or so that she knows, but she’s doing very well so far and picking up new ones pretty quickly. Her favorite letter is W. She points them out in her books and on signs and stuff (we pass Walgreens and Wal-Mart almost anytime we go anywhere!). It’s pretty funny when we let her read books in her bed before lights out at night, she will find a W and call out “guys, come here” and then “close your eyes” and then point to the W and tell us to open them to see her W, she is so proud!
This past weekend, Becky was lying around on our bed with Felicity. She started pinching Felicity’s butt. Felicity told her to stop, saying “that’s not your job”. Becky asked her “what is my job?” to which Felicity responded “to love me.” I’m sure one of us must have said something like that to her at some point, but it was so spontaneous and cute!
Finally, lately she has been really into Band-Aids whenever she gets the slightest bump, bruise or scrape. Most of the time its not worth fighting with her over it. But today I think she learned her lesson. Becky had to take of the two on her forehead and cheek and they both hurt quite a bit.
