Ap-ple

Sarah has taken to calling everything Apple.  Which when she says it actually comes out Ap-ple.  Funny thing is, she doesn't even eat whole apples!  She'll eat applesauce, but she won't eat an actual apple.  This morning she busted out with Applesauce.  But just because she says it, doesn't mean she wants it.  She was having cereal and a banana for breakfast, when she looked up and said very clearly Ap-ple sauce.  So what do we do?  We go and get applesauce....  Did she eat the applesauce this morning?  Nope.  I'm sure she will later on today with her lunch or dinner, but she definitely didn't want it this morning.  But this word is said over and over and over in our house.

Me: "Sarah, do you want to go play?"
Sarah: "Ap-ple"

Me:  "Sarah, what shape is that?" (Talking about a square puzzle piece)
Sarah: "Ap-ple"

Me:  "Sarah, what are you doing?"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"

Me:  "A is for..."
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me:  "Yes! A is for apple!"
Me:  "B is for..."
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me: "No, try again!  B is for..."
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me: (points to picture of banana which she knows how to say and what it is)"What is this?"
Sarah: (turns page back, and points to apple) "Ap-ple"
Me:  "Yes, Apple!" (turns page forward) "B is for... What is this?" (whispers banana)
Sarah: (looks at me)
Me: whispers "Banana" again
Sarah: closes book, runs off "Ap-ple"

Me:  "That's a leaf"
Sarah: "Ap-ple"
Me:  "No, that's a green leaf"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me:  "You're silly! That's not an apple! It's a leaf" "Leaf"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple, ap-ple, AP-PLE!"

Me:  "Sarah, want a snack?"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple" (runs to pantry)
Me: "Okay we can have applesauce"
Sarah: "Mmmm"
Me:  "What would you like with your applesauce?"
Sarah: "Ap-ple-sauce"
Me:  "Yes! Applesauce! Would like something with your applesauce?"
Sarah:  (thinks, points to refrigerator) "Cheese"
Me:  "Okay"
(this time she was completely right :D )

Sarah:  (playing by herself) "Ap-ple, ap-ple, ap-ple, ap-ple ple ple, AP-PLE, AP-PLE, AP-PLE!"


She really can say so many things!  She is great at repeating words back to you, or suddenly busting out a new word when you least expect it.  Like she pointed to her potty, and said Oval clear as day.  Her potty actually is shaped like an oval, smart girl.  But then she goes back to saying apple.  I guess it's fun for her to say.  Just thought I'd share one of those things she's doing all the time right now.  It's cute, and she's good at saying it! Hope you're having a great day!

How To... Fold Infant Pajama's

So here's a quick little blog.  It came to me as I was sitting here folding Sarah's laundry.  I fold Sarah's clothes, or really all clothes, very specifically.  I like clothes to look neat in drawers and to keep outfits or in this case pajama's together in one spot, making it easy to grab and dress  I used to hang ALL of her clothing up, but as she gets bigger I'm adjusting our system to meet our needs.  With that said, I thought I'd share how I fold Sarah's two piece pajama's to keep them neat and together.



Start with unfolded pajama's.   I chose this set so you can see the top and bottom easily.

 

Step 1: Spread out the top front side down.  Spread out bottoms front side up.

 

 

Step 2: Fold in one arm of the top, making it even with the body.  Fold bottom in half pulling the crouch out to make a point.

 

 

Step 3: Fold in other arm on top, again keeping in line with the body.  Fold legs up to waist on bottoms.

 

 

Step 4: Place bottoms on top of folded arms.

 

 

Step 5: Fold lower hem of shirt over bottoms up to neckline.  The shirt is basically pocketing the bottoms.

 

Ta-Da!  This is the end product, and nice neat little bundle of pj's.

Here's what a stack of these pajama bundles look like after your done with laundry:

Nice, neat, and ready to go into the drawer of your choice!

Yes, I may have a slight OCD tendency, but hey, who doesn't like neat little stacks and organized drawers?  And since pj's are usually a no brainer, it's super easy to grab the next set and put them to use!  Enjoy!  Let me know if you found this little tip useful.  I always enjoy feedback!  Thanks for stopping by!
