I wish I can blog more than I have been doing. J is home for half the month and the other half, I'm on my own. We've had a hard winter. J's been sick a lot and it's been really cold and snowy. I feel like we are on the flip side of the weather. G is now over 2 and going through the typical two's with full blown temper tantrums. I'm trying to figure out how to handle all of them. She wants what she wants and when she can't get it, look out here she comes. She's fiercely independent. "I do it mommy, I do it." She wants so badly to do it herself that she's say "I need help, I need help, then No...I do it" She can put on her own socks, pants, shoes. She can eat with utensils for the most part. She loves bouncy house and always wants to play. She loves her baby dolls too. Puts them in the cradle, covers them with blankies and points to them saying "NAP". She loves her routines and we love them too. Every night, before bed, we read books. She's so smart and learning her ABC's. She can recognize some of the letters. E, D, R I know she knows them. She's starting to know her colors and can also count. She's say's "Thank you and You're welcome" She's growing up so fast and I just don't want to miss any of it.
