Ruby Now

At 3.5, here are some things going on in Ruby's world:

I was very proud of her when we went out for sushi one night. She had miso soup, eel roll, pickled ginger, soy sauce, and even some salmon sashimi. And I didn't even have to beg her to just please for the love of god try it!!, she did it all on her own. I think eating with the chopsticks and the funny spoon may have played a part in that. Other than that night her eating habits are really hit or miss. Unfortunately, her favorite restaurant is "Old McDonalds" (Ugh. We are working on that) She also likes "Barrel Cracker", which she frequents with the grandparents, and Indian food.

Her sleeping habits have changed. A nap is no longer a guarantee but they still happen, for the most part. Instead of nap time we call it quiet time though. She doesn't have to sleep as long as she stays in her room and is quiet she is free to play, color, read, whatever. Most of the time she ends up falling asleep. On days she doesn't sleep an early, or at the very least, easy bedtime is all but guaranteed. In the morning she usually doesn't sleep past 8 any longer which really sucks and our attempts at subliminally telling her to sleep until 10 have so far been unsuccessful. We've also found her asleep in random places such as on a massive pile of books on the floor in the corner and right behind her bedroom door. In both cases she had her pillow, a blanket, and had been reading.

At least she tries to keep herself occupied for a bit before waking us in the morning...
We've backed off on the screen time quite a bit. There was basically none for the first two years then we realized how glorious it was to just throw on Dinosaur Train and be able to run off and do something, anything in peace. However, the tv (and iPad) just turned Ruby into an even more of a whiny little punk. She's much better behaved when tv isn't involved and listening to her as she's off playing in her room is adorable and hilarious. She still watches stuff, but it's usually only an episode or two of something on the weekends.

She's more into being naked now. Not all the time but like whenever she gets out of the shower she doesn't want to put clothes on. And when we went outside to play this past weekend she asked if she could play in the pool with no clothes (and then she asked if she could pee in the grass). I don't particularly care, I'm more concerned with her not being ashamed about her body in the future. Oh yes, and sunburn.
