Your Grandma in Japan sent you these a few months ago but you were too small for these. You might be big enough now, so pretend that it’s summer, ok?

Erika’s learned to open and close her bedroom door by herself and plays with it almost daily. For some reason she doesn’t let me in. I wonder what’s going through her mind…

She is getting good at picking up pieces of a baby rusk and putting them to her mouth.

Erika and I visited her future daycare today. She sat down in one spot and just watched other kids play for a while, but once she felt comfortable she started to play with toys by herself. There was a very friendly cat there and she let Erika touch her. Erika loved it, as Chi doesn’t let her do that 9 out of 10 times when she tries. I’m relieved that she did ok overall. We will try to let her stay without me for a couple hours at a time in February before she goes there full time in March.

Today was the last day of the music & play class. Erika decided to walk to the instructor when she was getting ready for the next activity so she picked Erika up and took her around. Erika was perfectly fine with the instructor. I think she finally opened up to the instructor. Too bad. It was the last class, Erika!
