The Longest Sentence Ever!!
December meant two words in a row, and the start of the year meant 3 words in a row. But three weeks into 2010 means full sentences spaced out for thinking time.
Tonite Ambree woke up from sleep and told Daddy, "Poopie... Sleep clothes... off.... change diaper, please."
And if that weren't enough to blog about, earlier in her bath she took a green bath crayon and said, "tree." Then she drew long, tall lines with a bunch of extra, crazy lines on the top. And then five minutes later when it was time to clean up all drawings, she said, "bye-bye, tree." Ridiculous! She also said "ridiculous" today on command when Aunt Lorita was commenting, "She says everything I say right back to me. It's ridiculous! Watch this: Ambree, say 'Ridiculous.'"
During her nap, she woke up within about 10 minutes of having been put down and told Mommy, "Mommy, Daddy's bed?" I thought, oh dear, what did I start, because I've been letting her finish her nap in our bed after she sleeps for about an hour since I want her naps to be longer. I was so afraid I would give in and start a habit or she would just refuse to take a nap in her crib. So I tried telling her "No, You go to sleep in your crib." To my surprise and relief, she said, "ok. sleep, shut the door."

Friends
Friends have become a big deal to Ambree over the last few months, but even more so in the last few days. We consistently talk about being nice to friends and not pulling hair, etc. Yesterday, I told her that her MiMi was coming over "to play." That was the wrong verbiage, because it immediately made her think of one of her play date friends, Ramona (who we haven't seen in almost a month because of the holidays). She began say, "Mona play, come play" over and over. When MiMi arrived Ambree burst into tears crying for Mona because she was sure that the doorbell meant a play date. Poor Mimi!
Ambree is also consumed with her cousin Jaxon and repeats his name in the car before and after we see him. At church today, two little girls that are a bit older than her but come to play dates walked by. Ambree pointed and said, "Friends!" Hopefully this new interest in all of her friends means that we are moving past some of the tantrums evoked by jealously that use to plague play dates :)
