Look What I Can Do...

I can brush my teeth!
Every morning after breakfast Megan will point at the bathroom and say "teeth" Then I ask her where she needs to be to brush her teeth, and she'll say "bumbo" She gets to pick where she wants to brush her teeth, living room or bathroom, and once I hand her the tooth brush she is as happy as can be.
She is getting really good at brushing back a forth. Right now it is 50/50 on brushing/sucking the toddler tooth paste of the brush.
I can climb onto my toy box all by myself!
Yes, the ladybug served as a great step, but before she just used it to reach toys in the toy box. This was the first time she climbed on top!
I can put Daddy's socks on!
Mark was upstairs folding laundry with Megan's "help" When they came down, she modeled this fabulous outfit!
I can color!
I bought these crayons that are meant for toddlers a while ago, but the first time we tried, Megan wasn't interested in them. I pulled them out the other day and she loves to color! She is really good at scribbles!
Just checking out the pretty colors!
The crayons that were in the plastic holders were a pain so we have upgraded to big triangle crayons! Megan's likes them a whole lot better! She is very good she knows that the crayons stay on the paper. Every once and a while she will try to walk around with them and when I ask "Where do the crayons belong?" She runs back to her table and puts the crayons on the paper :) So far no accidents (knock on wood)
I can help pack for the cruise!
Megan found some of my old (I wouldn't even think of wearing them now!!!) bathing suits in on of my drawers and EVERY DAY she puts all of them on and walks around. But she takes them off and puts them back in the drawer when she is done with them, so I don't really care if she wants to play with them.
As you can see Megan is quickly learning to do all sorts of fun things. She is also starting to expand her vocabulary. Most of her words still need translation, but she is getting really good at picking up sounds and repeating words. Things are really fun at our house!
