Look Who's Two

Emmy is now a big girl - two years old!

She got some toys which she loves so much that she screams "No" when we dare ask her to put them down.

She has some new clothes to wear since she is now a whopping 32" tall.

She is well prepared to be two by doing some of the "terrible-two" behaviors that strike fear in the hearts of parents. She throws an impressive tantrum, climbs on all types of furniture, repeats most of what we say, and has a plan of her own for how the day should be spent.

She is more loving than ever and giggles a lot.

She screams "Mommeeeee" when we walk through the toy section of stores.

She requests which foods she would like to eat.

She can no longer be distracted or bribed into good behaviour.

She has learned what to do to make me mad, and what to do to make me forgive her.

She is her own person as well as part of the family.

I thought we couldn't love her more than day she smeared birthday cake across her face when she turned one. Boy I was wrong. Watching her blow-out the big "2" on her birthday cake was even better.
