• Lydia had an issue with hitting other children but fortunately we've gotten it mostly taken care of. When we pick her up from childcare she almost always runs up to us and says-I didn't hit! But with kids there is always something else...like grabbing toys, etc. The other day we were playing with some friends and Lydia pinched the other girls (first and last time she's done that). I asked her-Why did you pinch her? Lydia looked and me and all serious said-Because I did not hit her!
• We have lots of nicknames for the girls. Like Lydibug and Glowbug. From Caleb, Boogerpoo and Spittywiggle. Well Lydia likes making some up too. For a while she always called Gloria Glory-ew and herself Lydi-ew. Well now we are on a Bambi phase and Lydia is Bambi (sometimes little without horns and sometimes big with horns) and Gloria is Thumper-she lives up to the name because she drums with her hands a lot.
• Since Gloria is the queen of spit up and is also crawling and eating food, we find little wet orange or green colored spots all over the carpet. Our house is half tile, half carpet and Gloria prefers t o crawl on the tile which is good for this problem but she will spit up and then crawl through it and is a mess these days!
