Caris has grown
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008
Caris has grown by leaps and bounds! She is now three and a half going on ten.
She takes ballet in her preschool. She has her own Tutu for school and one she wears all the time at home.
My wife bought her matching gloves. Now she looks the part too.
With Caris growing up I have notice her vocabulary has increased and her speech
has shown a marked improvement.
Of course her sentence structure is poor.
“Daddy, him is bald.” She said that right in front of a bald person walking by us in a store.
Her social skills are interesting to watch. She does not have a care in the world when we go out.
There was a woman at a store the other day that had a bad hair day. Caris looked at her and said (loudly) “Daddy, she has crazy hair.”
That is what we tell her when she first wakes up in the morning.
In the same store she saw a man walk by with a lot of tatoos.
“Daddy, the man has a lot of tattoos.”
There is never a dull moment when she is around.
God only knows what she will say next out in public.
Additionally, she loves to be read to. We read three books to her every evening.
When she gets into trouble our first recourse is to give her a time out. If she fails to listen, we know by telling her she loses one book we read to her, she usually takes the hint and listens.
I have no illusions that she will not listen all the time but taking away her reading priviledges provides an avenue to help thwart her sometime unruly behavior.
