Charlotte Mandy http://charlottemandy.com a day in the life of a little tike posterous.com Wed, 09 May 2012 22:04:53 -0700 Schoolie http://charlottemandy.com/schoolie http://charlottemandy.com/schoolie Charlotte started school this year, she's a "schoolie". Pre-kindy at the local primary school which we live just up the road from (handy). She really enjoys it. At this stage it's just a five-day fortnight.

She's getting better on her scooter and currently loves Octonauts

Wow, things are busy right now, with building a house, work, the kids growing fast. It's hard to keep up with the blogging!

Charlotte has been accepted in to the local primary school right down the road from where we are building our new home. Great!

She starts next year and is very excited!

In other news, we introduced a 'tick chart' where CJ will get a 'tick' for eating her dinner and getting dressed on her own without anyone shouting at her.. it's working fairly well. She gets a little gift as a reward for doing so well.

I'm not sure if it's too early (she's only 3 and a half), but I've started to teach her to read, she has shown an interest so I figure why not. I asked her one night if she wanted me to point to the words as I read her book to her, she said yes, so... I guess she's keen!

It's now mid year (tsk tsk on my updates), she's very independent. Now dressing her self, and just recently gave up her dummy (pacifier)!

Now just to get her washing her own hair! hehehe.

Melissa and I tried all kinds of things to get Charlotte toilet trained, in the end we just let her do her own thing and she eventually figured it all out. I think the best advice I could give would be to let them roam around half naked, with no nappy, they learn pretty quickly that wee get's them all wet!

She sometimes sleeps with a nappy, but generally doesn't wee until morning, clever clever.

I think daycare have played a big role in all of this. You see, some of CJ's friends at daycare progressed up to the next room, the bigger kids room, the Joey's room! Charlotte was told that she needs to learn to use the toilet like a big kid before they will let her move up. Cruel? Not sure, in any case, it's working. She'll be in the big kids room really soon!

What challenge is next? Probably dressing herself!

Media_httpwwwcharlott_mijua
It's the eve of Charlotte's birthday. She turns 2 tomorrow. It's hard to believe our little girl is 2 already! We have a bit of a gathering planned (around 50 people!) with some of Charlotte's friends and family. Plans are, lots of kids party food, kids activities, music, and fun! We've bought Charlotte a bunch of things, but the main show is a toy kitchen (which requires assembly). I'll be picking it up after work today and assembling tonight in the garage! Won't be long now until she can learn to cook mummy and daddy some dinner! (or perhaps mud cakes?)

Recently Melissa and I stood her against the wall in her room and measured her height. She's a tall girl for her age! Regularly compared to the height of 3+ yo's! Here's some recent pictures: [gallery link="file"]

But, now, she seems to be taking more of an interest in him. She calls him 'baaaabyyyyy'. Pretty cute. I'm looking forward to the day that Spencer is old enough to play with Charlotte, then perhaps they can entertain each other!
