This week we have had a great week, with very little fuss and no tantrums! Carmen is 'using her words' more, and I think this helps out a lot with her frustration. She will repeat any easy word I ask her to, and can now even say 'circle' ("kirkle"). She even has a word for Grandma! It is Lolo, which sounds nothing like Grandma, but at least now Grandma has a name - finally some reward for all the hours spent looking after her! The weather this week has been cold and rainy and then sweltering hot and stormy. We take Carmen to this little indoor park inside an arcade, and it is our saving grace! She can sit and have her 'coffee' and cake and then run and play while we actually sit and have ours. It is the most relaxed we can get with her. We also made a couple of trips to our other favourite parks this week, and of course Carmen still visits her grandparents two days a week. Starting on Monday 4th, Carmen is also starting day care one day a week. I am extremely nervous about it, so we are going in for three visits this week to settle her in. Scary! She is getting rather bored at home, and I think the socialization will be good for her. I also need more time to get things done, because she still makes doing anything productive impossible! However, she has learnt to stand on a chair in the kitchen and 'help' me with kitchen work. Things take twice as long, but at least she is not complaining!
