Sadie's Favorite Things

Little 2 year old, Sadie, has some very favorite things. Here they are in order:

1. Milk - Sadie's first love, milk. When she was an infant she had NO desire to move onto solid foods. She refused them and exclusively breast fed for nine months. At nine months she got bronchitis and it became difficult to breastfeed. She finally at the point tried baby food. The ONLY baby food she would eat was pears. She hasn't changed much. Now when I serve her a meal she may look at it or maybe even take a bite. Then she pushes it away and asks for milk.

2. Blankets - Sadie loves the blankets her Grandma crocheted for her. It is not unusual for a toddler to become attached to her blanket. When Grandma visited a few months ago she noticed that Sadie was outgrowing her little crocheted baby blankets so she crocheted her a couple of bigger ones. Sadie drags all of them around the house. I hide the two little ones she has in case she soils her other ones at night and I need to trade them out. If I didn't hide them, she'd insist on dragging all four around. Sadie talks about how "blankets are for smelling." She sometimes invites me to smell them.

3. Swimsuit - After breakfast this morning, the first thing Sadie asked me for was her swimsuit. She loves water play! When given the chance, Sadie will wear or simply carry her swimsuit around. She has done this since about a year and a half old. She used to cry whenever I took it off.

4. Backpack - This is a new interest. Dora has a backpack... need I say more?

Oh, the love of a blanket.

My first drank a lot of milk too.

And, yes, it is all about Dora the Explorer.

Mini-me discovered her crocheted blankets and that was it. I had to put them up or she would sleep with all of them. She would loop her fingers through the holes and snuggle it. I think they only smelled good after I washed them. She never complained, thankfully;)

tequitia, I give croceheted blankets two thumbs up. I like to give them to infants in case they cover their faces with them... at least they have holes and can still get some oxygen.

alice,so your first drank a lot of milk too... and she still grew, right?

Klin, EXACTLY- putting her fingers through the holes. How fun to hear that another little one wanted to sleep with ALL of them.

What a cute post! Learning about Sadie is so much fun! What a sweetie pie! Liam loves his "pack pack" very much too. He even calls my purse a backpack. So funny!
