I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving. Not to mention Rachel is turning 2 in less than a month. Not to mention that she has been so entranced every time she sees any kind of Christmas display. The next month and a half will be very exciting for her (and us!).
She and I go to the gym 3 times a week on average. When we first started going to the gym there was about a 50/50 chance of getting paged back down to the daycare to pick her up because she was upset and crying. Now, about 6 months after we first joined, she doesn't even turn around to say goodbye when the door opens to let her in (LOL).
Rachel started gymnastics about 2 weeks ago and she really enjoys it. She immediately got the hang of (heh) hanging from the bar and is a little iffy on the balance beam. She really loves it though. No matter what, she always leaves tired, which Mom really likes :)
People who see her now are amazed at how much and well she talks. Some of the things she says are hilarious -
"yessir" to either mom or dad
"Ummmmmmmm..... YES!" instead of "I don't know"
"Gracias, thank you" Thanks to Dora (heh).
She started calling Daddy just "Dad" every so often, much to Archie's disappointment.
When leaving the house, she looked up at the sky just outside the garage. The clouds were moving particularly fast that day and she exclaimed that the house was "moving", very upset!
