Eliza insists that she is bigger than I am and nearly as big as Mike is. She brings her bigness up several times a day. She got pretty upset a few weeks ago when, some girls who are a few years older called her "little."
Often Eliza will start the day by telling me, "I'm going to be kind to Caleb today." She does well generally, though she often takes fun activities (tickling, chasing, wrestling, splashing in the tub, etc.) a little too far and Caleb goes from laughing to crying. I am impressed at how long the two of them can play outside together by themselves. It's really sweet to watch.
Eliza still puts everything in her mouth. Everything. If she doesn't have anything in her hands, she puts her hands in her mouth. I'm sure she's built up a pretty good immune system by doing this, but I'm ready for it to stop. Any ideas on how to get her to stop?
A few random shots from the month:
Eliza loves to spin and dance, especially when she's wearing a dress.
It about burst when I saw her stop to teach her little pupil. "Say 'No more diapers for me!' Caleb."

I'm going to have to look up that Potty Power show.
My only suggestion for helping Eliza keep her fingers out of her mouth is to have an in depth conversation about germs and how they get into your body, complete with pictures.
Lisa, that's a great idea to teach her about germs! Thanks!
