I had a fun weekend with mom and dad, but we missed my swim class on Saturday :( Mom and I were getting ready to pack up our bags when I discovered that the washer was leaking! I went potty and said "Mom, there's water on the floor!" The washer had leaked all over the laundry room and it was one big puddle. Mom couldn't get the washer to stop filling, so she woke dad up and started cleaning up. It finally stopped filling and mom and dad couldn't find anything wrong. They pulled the washer out from the wall and ran a few loads and it seemed to be fine. Hopefully it was just a fluke - they have been able to do several loads of laundry since then and it's been ok. Thankfully they don't have to wash diapers anymore - that would have been a disaster! Fingers crossed it was nothing major...
Mom and dad went out on Saturday night to go to an Indian restaurant that mom has been dying to go to - Rasika. They said the food was awesome, but the service was AWFUL! They allowed 2.5 hours for dinner and were still almost late for the show. They went to see Comedy of Errors at the Folger Shakespeare Theater and really enjoyed it. Ms. Gulnara, one of my former teachers, came to babysit me and we had such a great time! She helped me make some valentine's for mom and dad and they were waiting on the wall when they came home.
I had a play date with Alanna and Zachary on Sunday - we had a BLAST and I didn't want to leave :( I was so good and even told mommy when I had to go potty - I stayed dry the ENTIRE time! We'll have to get together with them again sometime soon. I first met Alanna when we were about 5 months old and we're still such good friends :)
I have *finally* started sleeping a little better. After several weeks of waking up every half hour all night, mom took me to the doctor again last week. Thankfully my lungs and ears are clear (just another cold), but that left mom and dad to try to figure out the sleep issues once again. They think I was having nightmares and have since bought a very dim light bulb to put in my lamp, set my Good Nite light and have instituted a "2 animal" and "2 blanket" rule. I may have been stalling by asking for more and more animals at night, so now I know I get 2 animals and get to pick the ones I take to bed with me and which ones go back to the toy bin. And with the Good Nite light, when the moon turns blue, I know it's time to go to bed and when the sun turns yellow in the morning, I know it's ok to say "Mom, come get me!" 3 nights in and we're pretty good so far. I've woken up a few times, but nothing like it was.
Here are a few photos:
I like to stretch with daddy after a run:
Jumping is so much fun!
Since daddy has been traveling a lot, I've been sleeping with "daddy's blanket" aka the DC United blanket :)
I think I made mom's night tonight! She's been working with me on spelling simple words like mommy, daddy, cat, etc. On the way home tonight, she asked me what my name was and I said "Sydney Clements...S - Y - D - N - E - Y." That's right - I spelled my own name!!! Granted mom has said it a thousand times to me, so it's quite possibly memorization, but it's the first time I said it correctly on my own. It took a while after we got home for me to repeat it for dad, but I did :) So yes, I know how to spell my name!!!
Till later...hope all is well!
