Cecily is really enjoying school lately. She happily runs in when Greg drops her off. This morning one of the teachers told Greg that Cecily is "very social". We pretty much have to rely on what Cecily reports to us at the end of the day and she describes her friendships with Maisy, Lucy and Isabelle. Occasionally she mentions boys, especially if the boy played dolls or dress up with them.
Her wild imagination continues to grow and she plays very elaborate games with us that usually involve Sally and Becky (her imaginary friends) and either a birthday party, a picnic, or some other important event. Sometimes she pretends they are lost and runs around the house calling for them.
Cecily is getting very interested in letters and "reading". When we are driving she will yell out "S-T-O-P STOP!" when we are near a stop sign. Although sometimes she says "S-O-P-T "or P-S-T or some other combo. But its a start.
On a less positive note, we have really crossed over into some bad attitude territory. Most simple tasks have become a major struggle. Getting her to go potty when she doesnt want to or get dressed in the morning can lead to huge tantrums and a very disgruntled mommy and/or daddy. She throws things, screams, hits us, and just wont do what we need her to do. And although we know she loves her daddy dearly, she often acts like he is the antichrist. None of this is bizarre behaviour. Im sure it is described almost identically in many books on preschoolers and "the terrible threes". But that doesnt make it easier. But she is still so much fun lately, and we love her to impossible levels, and she knows it.
