Kiddo Update
Miss E is a piece of work. A bit more of a drama queen than her sister ever was, but I also think that all two year olds are a bit on the bipolar side, so maybe this will pass.
Her obsession the last month or so is with removing her clothes and taking off the diaper. She will absolutely refuse to keep her pants on - to the point where I had to go the consignment shop and purchase six pairs of overalls because I thought that would stop her. While this did slow her down, she now just unsnaps the buttons between the legs, or just pushes the shoulder straps down and strips that way. And at night, after safety-pinning her onesies closed and trying various methods, we’ve finally settled on cutting the feet off of footed sleepers and putting them on backwards. (picture a wet suit, with the zipper in the back) I have to do this at nap time too.
Safe to say, our little Houdini has pretty impressive gross motor skills. She’s either going to be “gifted”, or a huge PIMA when she grows up…
Miss A has recently developed a love of all things horses, which I guess is common in little girls, but where does it come from? Every year I take her to the Maryland State Fair and we always go to the horse stalls, and she is generally terrified by their size and not too impressed by the smell. I suppose if her obsession is limited to the plush variety I should consider myself lucky.
She’s also come into a really delightful sense of humor. She can tell jokes to anyone, and even if they make no sense at all, she’ll laugh so hard that you have to laugh too. And, of course, you just have to say the word “underpants” to her and she’s a puddle of giggles.
The girls aren’t babies anymore. This is all going by too fast. *sigh*
