Growing up

Since turning two (not eight, which is how old Charlotte says she is when you ask her!), Miss C seems to have become a little more independent and grown up. She went for her first dentist visit today and by all reports she did very well. Opened her mouth for the dentist, had a ride in the chair and got a lollipop (although I think her Dad polished that one off!). The rails have come off her bed and she has not fallen out nor got out of bed unexpectedly (except to go to the toilet). She is also starting to take herself to the toilet. I couldn't find her the other day, was looking everywhere and eventually found her in the toilet. She had taken herself there and was going about her business - much to our delight if we no longer have to stand in the bathroom with her - she can really stink the place out! And when I get dressed in the morning, she occassionally says 'Pretty' even on the days when I know it is just not working for me.

But she is still young enough to throw on the backpack and go for a walk.
