Misha: 20 months

Singing
Previously Misha seems to be really averse to my singing (except when I sing 'Twinkle Little Star' before bedtime). Maybe she thought I was telling her to sleep whenever I sing...
But I kept trying to get her to enjoy it and lately it seems to be working. She can even say Row when she wants to hear 'Row Row Your Boat'. And she'll try to follow the action when I sing 'If You're Happy..'

Teething
Her bottom left and top right canines have made an appearance but without the drama of her last tooth. Phew!

Sleeping
No major issues. There was a few days in the middle of this month when she was having trouble with naps. Shorter than usual and she would wake up crying quite badly. Before that she did have a runny nose but nothing serious. After that she went back to taking regular naps.
There was 1 night when she cried quite badly and I had to go back in to console her. This has never happened before. She has protested naps but never bedtime. It was quite late so I didn't brush her teeth and read a story so maybe that was the reason (but I have skipped it before with no issues).
She is usually quite cranky after her afternoon nap (noticed this ever since I stopped nursing her). I usually have to bring her straight down and distract her with snacks before I can even change her diaper.

Schedule
7:15  am: Wake up (sometimes she's up by 7am but she just waits for me)
7:40  am: Nurse, then change her

• she can lift her bum up to change and put her legs into her clothes. 
• I've also started tying her hair. She is quite patient about letting me tie it but sometimes removes it later in the day. Trying to be consistent so she gets used to it. 

8:15  am: Send Meera to school
8:45  am: Breakfast (1 Weet-bix, 2.5 oz. milk, fruit - banana, kiwi or strawberry)

Every time I put down the bowl she will wave bye to me and expects me to leave her to eat herself. Most times she eats everything (or almost all) herself.

She will try to fish out the fruit but I always mix it up really well 

she is quite neat. If she spills she'll keep pointing at it till I clean it up.

9:30  am : Watch TV (Playschool is on at this time and she seems to really like it.
12:00 pm: Lunch (usually rice with soup)

• she also eats herself (but only about half then I have to take over. Occasionally I have to distract with books or You Tube...especially if it's something she doesn't really like. 
• she loves soup! Will even say soup when I start cooking. And can say date and longan

1:30 pm: Milk (4.5 oz in a straw cup)

• will usually drink about half  then I have to cajole her into finishing the rest (sometimes You Tube comes to the rescue)

2:00  pm: Nap (usually around 2 hrs)

4:00  pm: If she's up and there's enough time I give her a snack (pancake,cheese,yogurt, fruit)

4:45  pm: Fetch Meera

5:30  pm: Dinner

7:30  pm: Bathe

• she is quite distressed about water over her head. She will cry and protest the whole time. We haven't been using the tub for a while now (she stands on a rubber mat) so not sure if this makes things worse. 

7:45  pm: Nurse, brush teeth, story, bed

Toys
She loves playing with dolls. She will carry them. Try to feed them, pat them.
She also loves the Vtech Ride on toy. She can only move backwards though
Still likes to draw.
She loves to watch TV! Can sit and watch quite a bit before moving on (especially if there's songs or kids). She tries to dance when she watches Hi-5.
She likes books especially if there's things she recognizes in them

Tot School
Have not been doing this lately. Need to start back up on this

Zizi
Sometimes I see her hugging it when she's sleeping but most ties it's just left at the side. She does know it's name though
