P-I-P-E-R spells Piper

Our special 2 1/2 year old knows how to spell her name although most times she says "pieeeeer" which is pretty close. :) This year at daycare there's a new teacher who is working on curriculum with the older kids. Piper is picking up so much information and new vocabulary. She knows her shapes and colors. She's concerned with colors matching. She is learning some letters, sounds, and words that start with those sounds. But with all this new, good knowledge she's also learning how to manipulate. She often says "my teeth hurt" or has some other form of pain when she doesn't want to do something her parents ask her to. If she's supposed to eat a food she doesn't like she will gag and say it makes her throw up. Oh the excuses! She gotten very good at putting on her clothes and going potty all by herself. For over a week now she's stayed dry while sleeping so I'm not buying another package of pull-ups for her. Chris doesn't ride to school with us anymore so Piper gets super excited when he rides in our car. She also loves to tell knock-knock jokes she's made up. :) We sure do love this little girl and the smiles she brings to our faces. She's a great big sister and loves doing things for and with Campbell. Enjoy the sister pics!
