These posts have been lacking, indeed. We've been hanging out outside as much as possible, so I'll claim that as an excuse.
Imogen will be 18mo this month. She is so fun, talking all the time and just generally being adorable. Granted, we've seen a fit or two. And last week we had a few very unfun teething nights, but this week has been smooth sailing, sleeping all night...although I don't think those eye teeth have come through yet, so I fear we'll have a few more teething nights before too long. Poor baby.
Imogen loves reading books, and sometimes I'll put her in the zebra chair and she'll sit up there for a good while, taking books off the shelf and paging through them. I've found that 25 mins is plenty of time to get a few things done while she's happily reading (except that I interrupt my work because I like to peek in to watch her read :).
Immy also likes to play the piano. She likes me to put her up on the bench and she plays a few notes, and then turns the page of whatever music I have open on the stand, and then she plays a few more notes. It's very fun to watch. Oh, and she's becoming fiercely independent, as I learned the other day when I was sitting with her at the piano. She was manning the treble notes and I had the bass when she leaned over and tried to push my hands off the keys. "Wait. Wait.", she said. And then, "Get down.".
It'll be hard the be ensemble partners with an attitude like that. :)
Oh well, it only takes one to enjoy Haydn....
Her favorite song remains. Hot Cross Buns. And we're only in the car for about 2 seconds before she's asking to hear it. And she sings it around the house. And she'll sometimes play the rhythm on the piano while she sings (not the pitch of course, she's not Mozart).... and it never gets old, I tell ya.
She also loves the iPad. And if she'll sit and read books for 20 mins, she'll easily double that time with the iPad in her paws. She likes scrolling through the photos and vid clips, and looking at her abc flash cards. She has no problem navigating this thing.
The times. How they're changing.
I'll close for now. We're having a fun weekend, what with dinner with Bryan and Rae last night, and then my sis, bro in law, and nephews coming down this evening.
Hope your weekend is fun, too. Don't eat too many choc bunnies!
