An old/new habit at two & a music review
Draya found an old/new (not used) soother in one of the baskets in her bedroom. She spent a good chunk of the morning & early afternoon with it in her mouth. She's calling it her 'suckie'. I'm pretty sure this is because some of the kids at daycare have 'suckies' and she just wants one too. Now, Draya never has been one for soothers. She liked & used the one they gave her in the NICU but we never found one after that she would take. She is a thumb sucker. When she's tired or needs comfort her right thumb goes into her mouth and her left hand goes to her belly button. I doubt that this 'suckie' thing will become a 'necessity'. It's just interesting to see the things she's picked up while away from home.
She has also learned her ABC song without us. I just recently added it to our singing repertoire and she already new it. Other favourites we sing - often in the car - include '5 little monkeys', 'head & shoulders' (also fun in the bath) , the magic penny', 'the eansy, weensy spider', teddy bear's pic-nic', 'if your happy & you know it' and, of course, 'the wheel's on the bus'. And ours is not an ordinary bus, it often carries puppies that go "woof woof woof", kitties that go "meow meow meow" monkeys that go "eek eek eek" and numerous other animals after the mommies go "shh shh shh".
