3 quick Belle stories

1. I brushed Belle's four teeth tonight with a real (toddler) toothbrush and (baby, fluoride-free) toothpaste. She loved it! She giggled and seemed disappointed when I stopped. Hooray for good oral hygiene!

2. Today I took Belle to a Mommy and Me music class. Before we sang "Old MacDonald had a Farm," the music teacher asked the kids what animal says, "quack, quack." Belle made a Belle sound, as if to imitate "quack" that sounded like "gack" and the music teacher said, "That's right, Belle! A duck!"

3. Belle and I had a playdate with the twins upstairs. They hadn't played together in a few weeks. The difference in the interaction among the three babies from August to September was striking. The kids actually played together. They acknowledged each others' presence, made each other laugh and shared toys. They really, truly played together! It was a far cry from earlier playdates when "playing together" meant pulling a pacifier out of a baby's mouth and sticking it in her own mouth.
