Sariah Fun Facts

-If there is one point Sariah knows how to get across, its if she's hungry or thirsty. Hungry is a word she just started using today, and she's been saying Milk or Water for awhile now. I do make her say Please (it comes out Ease, but still.) She's also good at telling you when she likes something. Usually its by saying Yum, Yum with tummy rubbing. Its quite cute

-Sariah has also started counting. Well really she's got 2, 5, 9 and 10 down pretty well, but the other numbers are slower at coming. She also counts on her fingers the european way, starting with her thumb instead of her pointer finger. Doug likes to point out that this will probably get her in trouble once school starts, we'll see...

-On Sunday, Sariah actually used the potty. Now, I'm not trying to potty train, its way too early, but Doug's pretty excited about it, so when we saw that she was trying to fill her diaper, he took her to the potty, and she did alright. She mostly saved it for the diaper later though. We went ahead and got her a little seat that fits on the potty, but its mostly for show, I'm not getting serious about it for at least a year.

-Sariah still likes to climb, the higher, the better. She's a pro at most of the funny ladders at the parks around here. She's still not that into slides right now, so we have a hard time getting her down. One of the councliers in our Bishoprich who is often in Sariah's nursery, because his son is also there, remarked to me on Sunday that she was climbing the toy kitchen during nursery, so they set it down on its side, and Sariah went ahead and tried to climb it anyways. Hmmm... a toy kitchen is on my list for Christmas gifts for Sariah, maybe its not such a good idea...

-Not really a Sariah Fun Fact, but still dealing with Sariah: I made this dress she's wearing in these pictures. I'm pretty proud of it. She wore it to church on Sunday and the pockets are starting to fall off, but that's an easy fix. It was a simple pattern, but I added the extra fabric at the bottom and the ribbon at the waist. The sleaves were really hard though.

And check out her braids, aren't they cute? I love her hair. If you're wondering how I keep her still while I braid her hair, its actually the art of distraction. Running water in the sink and her rubber duck keep Sariah pretty busy.
