Is it a sign?

After her bath, after brushing her hair, I went to the bathroom upstairs. Kiera proceeds to go downstairs and run to the bathroom, specifically to the toilet and won't leave. So, I go with it.

I set her on the seat cover, she's not having it. I open the cover and set her on the toilet, still not having it. I set her on the floor and she points at her shorts. Her shorts come off, I set her on the toilet, nope. We take her diaper off...now you're getting it mom. I hold her on the seat because as you may know, that hole is big for a little bottom! She wants to do it by herself. I get by with holding her leg. (She didn't actually go potty, but that's not the point) She then points to the counter at the toilet paper. Josh gives her a square and she proceeds to wipe. At this point Josh and I are baffled. She then throws the paper in the toilet, shuts the lid and flushes...this with our prompting. She then agrees to put her diaper on, put her shorts on, wash her hands and have a snack.

WHAT, she's 17 months!?!?!?

I think we may be headed to the store with a training potty on the list!

On her 17 month birthday...

...she learned how to drive!

Kiera wears some 18 month clothes, but mostly 2T and size 6 shoes. 2T, really?!?!

She only needs 1 flu shot, because she had 3 last year!

We are beginning to be able to reason with her. For instance when she doesn't want to put on her shoes. "Let's put on your shoes so you can go outside."

She already seems to be a perfectionist and can get somewhat frustrated. She will place a baby blanket on the floor and if it isn't "perfect" she gets mad, but also doesn't want help from us.

She has begun to point. Especially at airplanes in the sky!

She can spend many minutes coloring or playing with play dough.

Loves broccolli and milk.

Bed time snack is usually sitting on the big brown chair with mom and snuggling...I may have started this routine :-)

She mimics everything...soon the words will come.

If you haven't seen Kiera in awhile we hope you do, soon! She is turning into our little girl, with a great personality!
