Its winter, the mall is warm so shopping is a frequent activity for us. Its no secret the Gap is a favorite place to get good bargains on kids clothes. The whole outfit is from there, and we already had the shoes from Target. Ally usually refuses to wear the shoes because they are black, but with red tights she agreed. The skirt is a skort and its actually size 18-24 months, and still big on her. We measured her this weekend and she has grown an inch since her birthday she isnow 38" tall. But no more weight, if anything she has lost a little. But she keeps growing and is healthy most of the time, so no worries. Aunt Beth was visiting this weekend and commented on how much Ally was eating at mealtime, and Becky and I beamed with pride. Mealtimes and bedtime have not been much of a battle lately, its like some kind of "grown up" switch has been turned and Ally rarely fights going to bed and when she is tired asks for a nap. She is still a pretty particular eater, but she eats when she is hungry and resolutely stops when she is full. We've been working on portions for her and she works hard to eat everything on her plate, or everything in her lunchbox. Of course, what comes home not eaten are cookies. But the orange, the strawberries and pb-n-j sandwich are all eaten. Gotta love the girl who eats her real food before the treat and then does not eat the treat because she is full. She practically beams telling us she ate all her lunch. Its so great to see how she has changed. This time last year she was basically only eating cereal and we sent that for lunch everyday. We're seeing hope for the future, since she tries new food sometimes and is eating different and more food on occasion.
Here she is making silly faces at me
