She is two years old today. I'm still amazed sometimes that she can breathe on her own, but here she is, walking and talking and feeding herself and throwing tantrums and asking to sit on the potty. Her eyes are still blue (mostly - depending on what she's wearing) and she is still a carbon copy of her daddy.
Here's where the Grandparents' Special Edition kicks in, feel free to skip this part if you have a low tolerance for "guess what my kid did today" posts...
Milestones: Yesterday, she spoke the first complex sentence either of us had ever heard from her, "Gigi wanna go outside and see the cows." (There's a nature trail that she and Daddy go to not far from our house; you can see cows from there.) Today, she buttoned Elmo's jammies in her "Good Night Elmo!" activity-story book. She can tell us that her hands are dirty and she wants to wash them. She can sing the ABC song, sometimes missing a few here and there, and she's picking up the concept of numbers. Her favorite songs are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "The Wheels on the Bus" and "B-I-N-G-O". She occasionally puts herself into Time Out when she realizes that she's done something Mommy and Daddy object to. She scolds the cat for no particular reason. She loves having books read to her and pretending to read them. She knows that on the last page of Goodnight Moon, we say, "Good night noises everywhere." And she still loves to play the "going away" game, where she walks out of sight and waits for us to say, "Where'd that little girl go? Gosh, I miss her!" before running back into our arms for hugs and kisses.
Yeah, I think we'll keep her.
