Well, it has been a WHILE now since my last update and lets see.. Sadie is now a functioning miniature human being who requires a certain degree of help once in a while.  She is walking, running, somersaulting, skipping and is currently working on jumping in any direction she wishes to go.  She loves to be outside playing with the neighborhood kids and Strider.  Their playtime usually entails screaming at and chasing down bubbles, scribbling on the side walk and occasionally on the side of a house with(and sometimes eating) chalk, chucking toy cars down the side walk, fighting for position on a slide, stroller or rideable toy, and once in a while just sitting and observing everyone else play.
She is becoming more vocal.  According to my wife she is able to say a ton of words but to me, they all sound pretty much the same except for: more, mommy, daddy, dog and ball.
She is starting to use the potty quite a bit, mostly because my wife is very adamant  about putting her on it once  an hour and she is wearing pull ups.  I personally think it may be too early for her to be using the toilet  and that she will indicate to us when she’s ready, which she does once in a while and then she’s rewarded with  m&ms.  I think that forcing the issue could provide some sort of post dramatic potty problems in the future, but what do I know.  When I see her in the squatted position turning red a grunting I whisk her off to the toilet mainly so I have less of a mess to clean up.
Sadie has been going to “school” for a little while now and she just started her summer classes which last the majority of the day instead of the half days which she has grown accustom too.  She is only going three days a week and is getting more use to it as she continues to go.  It was really hard for my wife to drop her off the first time because Sadie was in a new environment and she was scared.  She started crying and latched on to her mama, the teachers had to tear her off and my wife had to leave, she of course called multiple times to check on her and found out that she was doing fine.  Each time she’s dropped off she is getting better, I dropped her off this morning and she cried for about a minute, as soon as I left the room I heard her stop.
I guess its all part of growing up.
