Now that Brynn is not in daycare, we must fill our days with fun things to do or she gets a little bored. I do feel bad for her b/c she didn't get any time to adjust to being home ALL the time. When Mary and I were on a walk the other day, I noticed there was a toddler-friendly play area at the elementary school next door to our house. We walked through and tested it out with Brynn. She LOVED it. She climbed up the steps on her own and went down two slides over and over again and had the most fun. They also had a twisty slide and Mary helped her slide down that one. We tried letting her go down it once by herself and she ended up nearly coming down it head first instead. yep...too big yet. but the other too slides are perfect for her. she had a blast and threw a tantrum when we had to leave!
I also took her to story time at the KCLS library in Kent. They have toddler story time once a week on Thursdays at 10:15. They also have baby story time right afterwards at 11. next week, I will take both B and B to both story times just to see what the baby one is like. Brynn really enjoyed the story time and sang along with quite a few of the songs the librarian was singing, like "5 Little Monkeys Jumpin' on the Bed," "Baa Baa Black Sheep," "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," etc. I know that they also do story time in Burien as well, so we may go to that on Wed. also to see if it's the same or different. either way, repetition is good. Afterwards, we checked out a few books to take home and read. We borrowed: No David, No; Sheep in a Jeep; baby signs for animals; Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See? and a couple others. she already knew and was reading to me No David, No and Brown Bear...
because they also read them at daycare. It was so cute to see her reading along with me and saying the lines from each page. she does that with two other books we read almost every night to her that are her favorites: If you Give a Mouse a Cookie and If you Give a Pig a Pancake...she will say whole lines of the story or certain words she'll fill in if I don't finish the sentence on purpose. She's a smarty! :)

I think we've read sheep in a jeep. Or maybe it was Duck in a Truck. Either way, cute books!
The boys favorite is "I'm Taking a Trip on My Train" and they can read the entire things by themselves by memory. I love when they learn to finish the lines for you. WTG Brynna.
my favorite books are "everyone poops" and "the gas we pass"... I'm a little off that way. Maybe they'll help get her to be better friends with her potty!
