Walks

Last Tuesday Daniella learned that she could request a walk by bringing her socks, then shoes to her Daddy and then pointing at our key hooks and saying "Tees" (aka Keys). We were so awed at the cuteness of her learning this new trick that we took her on a nice long walk. We decided to try swinging her by her arms (holding onto her elbows for support). In preparation for this we would count to three and then say "wee" as we swung her into the air. We wondered if she would help count to three, but instead she just started to say "wee". The entire way home she tilted her head up towards the sky as if she was swinging herself and said "wee" requesting a repeat performance. After her bath that evening I talked to her about the walk and mentioned how she swung into the air and said "wee". She looked at me with the sweetest tone of remembrance and said with a breathy sigh "wee".

Wednesday, I asked Dani if she wanted to go for a walk with the stroller and then went to the other room to grab some socks. I heard a crash and came back to find that Dani tried to get the stroller for me, but it had toppled on top of her. Luckily it is a light stroller and she did not get hurt badly.

Friday Dani decided to escalate her request for a walk by bringing Trent his shoes. They may not have been a matching pair, but there was at least a left and a right shoe present. So he went on the walk with mismatching shoes to humor her.

Dani does not mind me playing with her hair if she can watch her TV show. While she was watching Backyardigans over the weekend a song came up that starts with "Wee! Wee!" as they are flying down a zip line. Dani got very excited at this and even sang along "Wee!" because of recently learning this word.
