A break from the terrible two’s
Sophie has always had a highly energetic, but overall very pleasant and happy-go-lucky demeanor. Over the past two weeks though, and ironically as we quickly approach her 2nd birthday on September 4th, she is turning into quite the drama queen. She’s gotten very whiney, gets very frustrated if things don’t go her way or we don’t immediately respond to her request for attention (especially while we try to get dinner done) and grabs things, even if someone else is using them and/or knowing full well that it’s not hers.
Today however, there was a break in all of that. She was her usual sweet self, smiling, singing her ABC’s (which include a whole lot of D’s!!), coloring, practicing her shapes and playing on her own.
We know this is all part of growing up and while we try to remind ourselves to stay calm while she’s having a complete meltdown over not getting her milk within 1 second of asking for it, we were very happy to have “the old Sophie” back today. Let’s see what tomorrow brings…..
-
- Working on her master piece
-
- Hiding from the camera
-
- The proud artist
-
- Big smile for her fans
love to hear about someone going thru the same fun shenanigans! julia is the same – bossy, demanding, whiney and loud, and she does it without speaking any english, which makes it that much more fun! i take a lot of deep breaths, remind myself that i have flip flops older than she is, get down to her level and smile. we are blessed to have such demonstrative baby girls! (right?!?!?)
Oh the joys of parenting! I am sure you and Brad are handling it all with grace and wisdom and hopefully some laughs
OMG! My niece is a lefty! Welcome to the world of lefties Sophie! Just remember Sophie, lefties have more fun!
I think the artist is a master piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
