Oh my little girl. What a diva she has become. I've said it time and again but she's sweet as sugar one minute and a defiant, independent two year old the next. But, I'll say she has been the absolute BEST big sister so far. She adores her baby brothers and wants to kiss and hold them constantly. She hasn't gotten jealous of them once and always tries to help soothe them if they are crying. She hugs on them all the time ( so much I have to remind her we DON'T do that when they are sleeping!) and helps hold their pacis in if they are fussing. She has yet to pitch a fit or get mad if I'm feeding them and can't help her or play with her right that second. She truly has amazed me at how well she's adjusted to her new role as a big sister.
Her new role as a 2.5 year old toddler (almost) ..... No surprise there, she's living up to the toddler potion!! Seriosuly. There are so many times a day I just want to smother her in kisses... And then others when it takes all my patience not to boot her hiney out the door! Some days there are too many time outs or spankings (yes, we believe in those... As does my pediatrician. Not talking about anything crazy just a little pop on the hiney.) and it makes me sad and frustrated. But when she doesn't listen over and over and over or throws something/hits I have to take action. I pray it's just a toddler phase .... Lordy mercy it can be exhausting!!
Phrases she says right now that I adore:
"I not ready go night night yet"
Okaaaaay momma
What you doodin
I tiss gam and Thomas
One more tiss (kiss)
I can't believe she'll be 2.5 in August... Makes me so sad. She just watched frozen for the first time and just like every other little kid in America, she's obsessed. Hearing her sing "let it go@ is the cutest thing ever. She loves playing dress up and with her baby dolls best. Favorite "tartoons" are Sophia, Dora and Mickey Mouse. Potty training boot camp is coming soon... Our pediatrician warned us to wait till after the boys were born to potty train for fear she'd regress... But it's time soon! Three sets of diapers is NO BUENO. She is awesome at riding her tricycle... And loves it. She is swimming like a fish with her puddle jumper and enjoyed her first "camo" at the beginning of the month at church. Gave her a taste of what preschool will be like come fall and I think she will love it.
Okay.... That's enough for now:-) Just wanted to document my girl too. And with pictures of course...
She's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad that they are growing entirely too fast, yet so true that these toddler 'tudes are for real. I saw Haven this past weekend and we were both talking about how some days these two year olds make us absolutely crazy. Glad we are all not alone. (and prayers that age three isn't as bad as they say it is... HA!)
