Entry for an Auntie
My sister Sydney complains when I do reviews and don’t write funny stories about her nephews. The point of the blog is to encompass it all. I hope to do a slew of reviews soon, though, so this entry is to placate Sydney.
18mo Guppy likes it when I sing the ABCs, and starts to babble random letters while I sing, in a letterish harmony. When excited, he does a happy dance, like Drake did at the same age, where he stomps his feet up and down very fast and grins, rather like Snoopy. He also likes to pivot in a circle, using one leg as a fulcrum.
Drake is reminding me that things change, then change again. When in the midst of some particular stage, it seems as if it will last forever. He’s entirely out of diapers, though, even at night, so he is changing. Several months ago, Drake would wait till we shut the light off at night, then scurry up, turn on the light, and look at books till he fell asleep. G. Grod and I would remove the pile of books from his bed, and turn off the light. At some point, though, it stopped. When we turned off the light, he turned over and went to sleep. Or he stayed up and turned off the light before he fell asleep. Within the last week, though, things have changed again. He’s turning the light on after we leave, then falling asleep with it on.
I will be interested to see how long this variation of the stage lasts, and also whether Guppy does it when he gets older.

Thanks, Sis.
