Kiddo Tagged!

Erin "kiddo tagged" my little London, so here are 5 things you may not have known about her!

(just a note, I just got my computer working, but lost my camera's USB cord, so pictures are slim pickin's! I only have some of my mom's discs available at the moment. I'll add more pics when I can!)

London Kate Thorell

1. She's Fearless!

She was running when she was 10 months old, and hasn't stopped! When she was 11 months old, she would climb to the top of the playground in our neighborhood and go down the big slides by herself. She also will still jump to Matt from the top step of our stairs, when Matt is at the bottom. She just puts out her arms and jumps! Last 4th of July, we were at the Layton Park during the day and there was a rock climbing wall. It was about 40 feet tall. She was 2, almost 3 years old. She BEGGED to climb up. We gave in, and soon she was in a harness and climbing up the huge wall by herself. She got about 20 feet up in the air before she got scared. She's Crazy!

2. We credit her for Beckett's language skills!

London spends every second in the car talking to Beck. From early on, he would repeat almost everything she said. We'll be driving and she's back in her seat saying things like, "Beckett, say restaurant. Say street light. Say elephant, etc" She'll go on and on, and when she's done, she always says, "well, that's all I know!"

3. She LOVES to bake!

When she was about 18 months old, we were all watching a show, when the timer on the oven went off. I turned around and London had oven mitts on each hand, had opened the oven, and was trying to take out some cookies. Talk about scary! She wakes up every morning asking if we can bake. She doesn't care what it is, as long as she can help.

4. She stays in bed!

I was terrified to move her from a crib to a big girl bed right after she turned 2. She's pretty defiant, and I thought, "she'll never nap again! She'll be in and out of that bed a million times a night!" Well, we sat her down and told her that she can't get out of bed for ANY reason. If she wanted to get out, she just needed to call out for Mommy. Well, that somehow stuck. I really don't know why she chose to actually listen this time, but I'm sure glad. Even in the worst of tantrums, she still won't leave her bed. I LOVE IT!

5. She NEVER has to pee!

She was a breeze to potty train, and even easier to night time potty train. I think it has to do with her assumed gallon sized bladder. The kid goes potty around 7-8:00 pm (right before bed time) and I kid you not, will not go until around 11:00 the next morning. Yeah, I don't know if that is normal, but it's what she does. Plus she drinks really well! She usually goes potty 2, maybe 3 times a day. She must take after Matt...

London is now tagging her friends; Ethan Frazier, Camryn Cooper, Brayden Hansen, Jada Bell, and Will Gorham!
