Two Years

Oh my. Why you did that for? (Or Why you did that?)--E when she saw her cupcake decorations on the piano.

Rocked you to sleep for your nap and your bedtime. You woke up and asked for your milk at your bedtime, but you were out before I laid you down. Laid you down in your big girl bed.

(Not a lot of rocking to sleep when you were a baby--if any) So glad we can do it now.

You laid in a chair sideways, with your feet over the arm of it and used your feet and toes to pick your water bottle up off of the side table and bring it to your hands to take a drink

You call the stool a "poodle." Lots of "I do it!" which I sorta love. lots of requests to "ride the potty, many, many times a day; although you've not actually used it for the intended purpose yet. And you've been "riding" it for at least 9 months. You also love to sing the song from Daniel Tiger, "If you have to go potty, STOP and go right away! Flush and wash and be on your way." You tell me whenever we're out and about you need to stop and go right away! It's fun when you make it appear to strangers that I'm the mean mom who won't let you use the nearest toilet when you OBVIOUSLY need to go. =)

You love your extended family, and we talk about all or most of them every single day. We talk about where everyone is, and when we'll see them.

Sept. 29--"Mommy, you washed you hair!"

You've been calling my eyelashes snakes for at least 9 months. You bit me the other day so hard that I have a bruise and two days later the pediatrician showed me your two year molars that are coming in on the bottom and told me how much they hurt. So, that made me sad for you but happy for understanding why you randomly bit the fire out of my arm for no apparent reason.

You love to play hide and seek. You are experimenting with pouting and finding it quite useful.
