Big news this month is that Daisy has taken really well to sleeping in her new bed - which I refer to as her big bed but she says it's her little bed, which I suppose it is as it's a lot smaller than her cot. For the first week or so she was regularly waking up an hour or so earlier than we're used to, and on top of that I had trouble getting her to nap in the afternoon, despite having had less sleep overnight, but she soon got back into her routine of sleeping 7pm till 7am and napping an hour in the afternoon. A couple of times a week she wakes up in the night, but settles straight back down once I find Aggie and Ellie, her comforters, and give them back to her.
She really enjoys being stroked, on her back, arms or legs, or even on her tummy, and she quite often says 'More tickles!' if the tickler stops for more than a few seconds :). She's also started playing Hide and Seek, but rather than wait for me to find her after I've counted to ten and said 'Ready or not, here I come', she runs out from her '(not very good) hiding place and shouts 'Here I am!'
Every month I make a note of new things she's started doing, then when I come to write up these blog entries for the 24th of each month, I realise that they're better explained by a video, so I spend the next couple of weeks trying to film her doing the things I want to write about and end up putting the blog post up a couple of weeks late. This month I've taken a different tack - I set the video camera running then attempted to get her to perform all of her new tricks in one take. First, though, are a couple of videos I took earlier in the month: 'If you're happy and you know it', with apologies for my very bum note in the middle: -
Next, we have the Hobbit's favourite, Second Breakfast, which is also Daisy's favourite meal of the day: -
Then there's the first of a few videos that relate in some way to Peppa Pig, which is practically the only thing she watches on TV. This is inspired by the episode entitled 'Recycling': -
And finally, this video is a montage, if you will, of the things I managed to get her to do in the same take. In order, there is: her standard response when I ask if she's done a poo ('No, it's all fine'); a clip inspired by the Peppa episode 'The Secret Club'; the Bing Bong song, from the Peppa episode with Delphine Donkey, Peppa's French pen pal; my attempt to get her to say 'washing madryer', like she did on Thursday last week when I told her I'd washed her doggie slippers; and finally a conversation about what she found in the garden, which turns into a lesson in self-adoration :).
The one thing I didn't manage to get her to say on camera was 'Got to share', which she's been saying a lot recently, followed by the name of a random friend. Today she said 'Got to share with Jessica' quite a lot; yesterday, apparently, she had to share with Harry. She also does a mean rendition of the song 'North Star' from the Peppa episode 'Stars', which she declined to perform for me. Maybe next month :).
