Ayelet LOVES that she can communicate and she loves to tell us what she needs and what she wants. Most notably:
"Talya" - she asks for her sister upon waking in the morning, when I pick her up from the day care, and she frequently stands at the bottom of the stairs and calls upstairs for her big sister. This is particularly problematic when she is up with me at 5:00 am.
"Aya" - when she is looking for Michaela, usually spoken once she knows where Talya is.
signing "more" - any time she wants more of anything, she signs "more" earnestly. I mean it, anything - not just food.
clapping her hands - when she is happy or excited, and she continues to do it when her claps are greeted with enthusiasm from her sisters.
It is so beautiful and airy, with a big picture window, lots of shelves, a changing nook and gorgeous lighting...
And there is space for her stuff, and for storage.
And we love her ladybug bedding that the girls and I so lovingly picked out about a year ago...
And she seemed to love her crib and her room - at first.
.... then it was bed time, I went through her bed time routine, bathed her, read to her, nursed her, brushed her teeth, dimmed the lights and then it hit her. She realized that we were going to leave her in that room, in that bed. She cried. She pointed at the door. And then we lay her down and she rolled over on her side and fell asleep. In her bed. In her room. Without me. And I went downstairs and cried.
