Rebekah Joy - 32 Months

Rebekah is offering me some mud hearts during our pool / take apart the garden mud day!

Sleeping - Her naps have been starting at 2 and she is sleeping all the way to 4.  No more diapers at naps or nighttime.  We told her if she went a week with no accidents then she could wear panties for both and she did! 

Eating - I ended up having to buy skim milk at one point this month and she hated it.  She told me she didn't like the taste I could empathize because I remember not liking it when my parents switched to skim as well.  Because it worked once, she has used that same rational several more times for why she hasn't been finishing her milk.  Unfortunately for her, the commissary has been well stocked of 2% milk since then :)

Play - LOVES her Octopus, Kangaroo, and her bears.  I still rotate her stuffed animals along with other toys.  Still loves puzzles!  She really has started enjoying "cooking" in her kitchen more and is very intent on making sure there is Orange Juice for her husband as well as giving me some for mine.  It is darling.

Skills - Rebekah knows all her colors and green has always liked the color green but it is becoming much more obsessive these days.
"I love geen because I love geen"  Also, I am hearing a lot of "I would like two because I am two." Two of everything. That started just following Faith's birthday so I am sure Faith turning 4 had something to do with it. We'll see how long our green and two obsessions last :)
This month she started really cutting.  I bought her some self-opening scissors several months ago to get some practice and while she liked them, they don't really cut anything.  This month I gave her a real pair of scissors and she LOVES them.  She asks to cut fabric constantly.

Random Thoughts - Reminding Faith that "honeycombs are like a honeycomb" following some correction Faith recieved.  That was her take on Proverbs 16:24, pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.  Also reminding Faith after we lost power in the middle of the night during some rough weather that "God is always with us".  She believed it and was unaffected by the loss of power or the thunderstorms that rolled through all night.

"What after?"  Rebekah constantly wants to know what is going to happen next.  I usually have to lay the whole day out at breakfast and even then still get the question of "what after bed?"
