and just like that...

When I put Yuki down this evening, expecting her to get mad and cry for 10 minutes, she whimpered, looked up, and waved her hand bye-bye. Just like when I drop her off at daycare. I waved back, and she watched me go towards the door and as I looked back to blow her a kiss, she gave another wave. And that was it. I closed the door, she didn't scream, she just went to sleep with her pal Blah-blah. It took less than a week, and she understood today. When she is put into her crib, she is to go to sleep. We will be in the house still, and will see her in the morning, but now it is time to sleep.

I have a feeling I will not forget this small yet significant event. 15 months old and she already has several things she doesn't need us for. Amazing.

P.S. Had a check up yesterday. 23 pounds and 31 inches, which puts her in the 75th percentile. But her tremendous head is still in 99.9(th?) percentile at 50 cm (about 19-3/4 inches). Yikes.

I can't wait to see Yuki and Jason together. When he was 16 months they finally gave his head circumference a percentile - 98th. Prior to that, he was "off the chart" It must be a Smith thing!

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
