There is such a huge difference between 2 and almost 2 ½. Her life so far has just seemed to fly by and she’s just becoming such a big girl. Her language skills are impressive. In fact, she’s using full sentences most of the time now that are structurally complete. Like “Can I have more milk please?” It seems like it happened overnight! She is jumping all over the place, skipping and can ride her tricycle- something she had a hard time with this past summer. Her moods are mercurial- she is a typical toddler! She is often sweet and cuddly with one of us, then tells the other parent “Go away! Leave me alone!” or she’ll go into meltdown mode. Usually, she is sweet and cheerful, although we hear “NO!” a lot. She is letting me take more pictures of her though and knows what “Smile!” means. She loves to help me cook too. She stands on a chair next to the counter and makes a huge mess, which is really fun if you ask her! She is totally into princess and dressing up and loves these little Disney Princess dolls that have plastic clothes that she always wants us to take on and off. Her costume collection is growing and she is equally happy being Buzz Lightyear or Cinderella. She is enjoying our Halloween decorations and is getting a kick out of Spooky Town
