All too soon she will have the proper name for everything, and what a sad day that will be. Because of Constance, at least once a day Grandpa and I will answer a question with, "I not know!" because that is what Constance does. Too cute!<br /><br />And as for Levi loving shoes, even though I know that, it still strikes me as so funny! Most kids hate having their shoes put on, or at least have no patience with the process of sitting still long enough to have them put on their feet. And yet Levi, who has little patience at the age of 19 months, loves them. They each have their own personalities, and I love it! <br /><br />Nannydavenkimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911027376620996089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-166504140000203512.post-74144150644311479622012-05-01T07:21:58.639-05:002012-05-01T07:21:58.639-05:00Ham on Rye gets that from his Aunt Amanda.

Even on the phone, or Skype, we can understand her much better too. She is a very smart, bright little girl! I am sure she is mimicking you and Keith with some of her new expressions. Levi cracks us up with his "no" stuff. Definitely gearing up for full toddler hood.

We made a huge deal about the timer going off and sitting on the potty. For a little while I gave her stickers just for sitting on the potty when the timer went off. I know some people give a little piece of candy but I never did that because Megan liked stickers so much.

I don't think it ever goes away. You just have to do your best, pray a lot, and trust that God will make up the difference! You are an excellent mommy, and believe it or not, Levi will not always be this needy. He is going to get older and busier, and more things will interest him to keep his attention.<br /><br />Take advantage of the times Keith is home, or Mom comes to babysit, and use those times to spend extra time with Constance. The housework will always be there, but the time spent with your children is very brief because they are only little for such a short time. <br /><br />You are doing a great job with both of your children, and I am very proud of you!<br /><br />Love and Hugs,<br />Momdavenkimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12911027376620996089noreply@blogger.com
