Thursday Baby Blogging 110509

By drorzel on November 5, 2009.

For this week's Baby Blogging, we have a shot of Kate helping SteelyKid with her new favorite game:

It's called "Take off my shoes, and put them back on." She can play this for hours. It would be even cuter if she could do the putting on and taking off herself, but alas, she's still kind of unclear on the solidity of objects, and doesn't really grasp that her feet can only get into the shoes from the open end. She'll get there, though.

SteelyKid officially moved out of the infant room at day care this week. She's now in the next age/ development group, termed "Waddlers" (an intermediate step between "Infants" and "Toddlers"). I very briefly considered going for the alliterative "Wednesday Waddler Blogging," but regained my senses in time. We're going to stick with "Thursday Baby Blogging" for a while yet.

Kids and Construction Update
The big development of this week is that construction started on the Great Chateau Steelypips Renovation of 2017. We're extending one part of the back of the house about ten feet to gain a bedroom on the second floor, and gut-renovating the kitchen, dining room, and mud room. This is a massive…
I Have Competitive OCD
SteelyKid is a fan of a web game called BumperStars, which my parents introduced her to. If I'm at the computer doing something, she'll march over, demand to be picked up, then point at the screen and say "Buh-Pah" until I open it up. Of course, she's a toddler, and thus has an extremely short…

This brings back memories. A little over 20 years ago, we took our daughter to a daycare where the toddler room was called the "Stompers." Another friend's child attended a daycare where toddlers were known as "Sprouts."

Ah, I too remember the "waddler" phase. Nora actually got kicked out of the the waddler room for a while because she would only sit in her teacher's lap when she was supposed to be waddling around. Didn't last long, though -- the infant room was boring by comparison.
