Evie puts everything in her mouth. Which is normal. Marea thinks it's hilarious, and will often say, 'Evie's gonna eat it!" when Evie grabs for something and heads for the mouth. The funny part to me is how WET Evie is all the time. The kid seriously produces an enormous amount of drool while mouthing everything. I've resorted to putting bibs on her whenever she's playing with toys. Because the front of her shirt is soaking wet afterwards if I don't.
One fun game with like to play is the 'Evie Monster'. Marea loves it when I have Evie go after her and say,' AHHHH, it's the Evie Monster!' Evie likes to leave a big gob of wetness on Marea's head. Payback!
We're back in the Coastline Parent Education class and Marea is loving it.(And so am I!) On the first day, she hid under the slide and cried when it was time to leave. Marea never does stuff like that! I think her favorite part of the class is the end, when we do the outside circle and do ring around rosie and the hokie pokie. She's always smiling, laughing, and singing. She also enjoys the art and crafts project and is always very excited to take her things home and show them to Gary. She absolutely loved a pair of binoculars made from two toilet paper roll tubes. She carried those around forever. Her and Madison play together a lot in that class, mostly in the play house. I think they are playing babies and families a lot. I like the class because I am able to focus on thinking about what Marea is going through developmentally. Which has been difficult for me lately because I still have a new baby at home. So I really like that time where I get to think about where Marea is at. The toddler years are such a fascinating time, and the discussions always get me thinking. It's true that when you understand what they are going through, that the more difficult aspects are easier to handle.
