Lola took the sponge and washed her own feet in the bath tonight. Then,
with Isa prompting, did her hands, her knees, her shoulders.
Her vocabulary is growing quickly now, and she’ll pick up on words that
she likes and play with them. She’s starting to string two words
together more often now (while, as you may have noted, I do so less and
less) — usually stuff like “this: nice” or “daddy: snack”.
She’s had a really rotten couple of days, though, with a terrible nappy
rash, diarrhea, a bunged up nose, a temperature, and a cough. I came
home yesterday and she was sitting on the sofa with Isa looking very
folorn — she hadn’t stood up all day, nor worn a nappy as it was too
painful, and she was avoiding peeing as that obviously stung. And she
had a fiercly red face that was quite scary.
I’m happy to report she’s considerably better today.
