Naps

So Tsula is 1 now and you're supposed to cut them down to one nap a day. Well I'm not doing that I tried and all i got was a cranky baby. Instead of one 1 hour nap, she gets two 30 minute naps. She is  much happier now. Some days she only takes 15 minute naps or just a one hour nap. But I let her tell me when she needs a nap or she goes automatically when she gets mean. :p 

Cranky bossy boots

So she has become a real crank butt, and thanks to daddy says "now bish" with her very limited vocabulary (doc says though her speeh is slower than average she is still developing normally as far as he can tell) and calls us mean if we don't give in to her demands right away. Naturally yelling is rewarded by alone time which really makes her more mad for a moment before she calms down. Once calm we play for a little before snack or meal time. However sometimes her demands are reasonable so we correct how she asks for example poopy diapers we tell her no yelling say poopy and we point to the diaper, when she's hungry we say hungry and do the sign for eat. She is learning she will stop screaming and sign when hungry or say gee when we ask why she's mad, though sometimes she means thristy and gets mad when I bring her a snack by mistake. She seems to be learning gestures and sign language much faster than actual words. She is also running now so that's fun too haha. We are starting to change her routine to a more strict one and might be going back to 2 naps a day because 1 is making her too cranky so she's not ready to go down a nap.
