She is starting to rebuild her confidence of walking on her own. I was so happy to see her attempt to take a few more steps by herself. We had a cool day today. I&#8217;m teaching her  math with this Math kit from Glen Dorman of Gentle Revolution. I started working with the kit a few weeks ago but for some reason got a little off track so we are basically starting from the beginning again. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m so happy she&#8217;s intrigued by the little red dots on the cards they provide. After each session we clap and I give her a great big hug. Sometimes she already starts to clap just before I put the cards away. We also played a few games and I sung some nursery rhymes to her and read her touch and feel cliford book to her. Nyla took her nap afterwards and upon waking up; she had her lunch and we went out to pick up dinner. Plus I was looking for this bowl and utensil set I could purchase to keep her from throwing her spoon on the floor when she eats. Blah they didn&#8217;t carry it at Toys r us I guess I have to make a trip to babies r us to pick it up. I was very pleased to see her finally eat all her food on her own even though she don&#8217;t use her spoon much. It&#8217;s funny cause she would start off her meal with her spoon and end up just using her hands. I know it&#8217;s a process and as long as she&#8217;s self feeding and learning to master her skills, I don&#8217;t mind the BIG clean up afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>For dinner, she finally had grown up food. I made some sweet potatoes, collard greens and chicken fillet. She enjoyed her meal. I wiped her down afterwards and read her a story &#8220;The Fluffy Chick&#8221; and put on her Lullaby CD thinking she would whine down and fall alseep but for some reason she was fussy instead. I guess she just wanted me to hold her so I did just that till I felt it was time for her to really get some sleep so I ended up putting her in her crib and just let her cry herself to sleep. That didn&#8217;t last long cause she was knocked out within 10 minutes. The puddin is now peacefully asleep with Ruff Ruff snugly under her arms.<\/p>\n<p>Be well&#8230;. Be blessed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So finally Nyla is getting there. She is starting to rebuild her confidence of walking on her own.
