so, abby has created quite the imaginary metropolis in our apartment, with various rooms standing in for school, her house, grocery store, hat store, shoe store, etc. The other day, brian and ian and i were in the living room, and she came in from "school, " and announced that she was going to her house. we asked her where she lived, and she said, "down a sunny dirt road, deep in people country!" this is the first line of every berenstain bears book, although for them it's bear country, not people country.
nothing much has been going on the past couple of days, so i'm pretty boring. friday morning is the pbs open house where abby will get to meet wordgirl. we haven't told her this, of course. brian and i are trying to figure out whether she'll think it's actually wordgirl, or what she'll think. or whether her head will actually explode.
in other news, ian has learned how to sit up from crawling/lying down. he's pretty happy about this. although, i think his sleep has suffered because of it, since he likes to practice his new skill. naps and night sleeping have not been good the past couple of days. we may be on the verge of a new sleep plan because of it, i don't know. all i know is that 8.5 months is old enough to be sleeping better than he is, and i don't want us to be reinforcing behavior that we don't want to continue. we shall see.
