We hiked up above the Moffat Tunnel off the Peak to Peak Highway, then we stopped in Nederland to check out the Carousel of Happiness (the actual name), which is one of Sabrina's favorite places these days. I think we got out with only 3 rides in a row this time, but we've been there for as many as 5 rides in a row before! She loves it. And amazingly, she has gotten really good at remembering from time to time what animals she rode on. We've been having so much fun with her getting remarkably smart, even more verbal, and showing strong preferences for things. She is certainly acting her toddler age! Most of the time it's very sweet and interesting to hear what she comes up with, but there are times when she's starting to push the envelope with us. Getting dressed in the morning is sometimes a challenge - she wants to wear that shirt, no, that shirt, and those pants, no she hates pants. It can be trying, but we're also trying to appreciate what a cool time it is in her life when she's working out her own thoughts and how to express them.
Also, we had a bit of a scare this past week. I was changing her diaper and didn't realize that she had grabbed a dime out of a purse that I let her play with. As she was on the changing table, down it went. I freaked out and started asking her over and over "Did you swallow the dime?" and she kept saying "I swallow it" I called the nurse hotline and they assured me that it can cause problems, but most of the time it just passes. The nurse also laughed as we were talking because she heard Sabrina in the background saying "I swallow it" "I swallowed the dime" and she commented that 1) Sabrina sounded like she was fine and 2) she was really verbal for her age! She even asked me to confirm her birthday. It was funny in the midst of being a stressful phone call. But, after 5 days (longer than we hoped), out came the dime! phew. Pretty gross, but I'm so glad we found it and I really hope we never have to go through that again.
