2 and a half

Our little girl is not so little any more.  She is constantly talking and singing.  She loves to take photos and play hide and seek.  She is doing great at using the potty to pee and poop.  When I call to her from another room she now says: "What Honey?"  She loves to cook in her kitchen and put her dolls to sleep.  She also likes to put Mommy to sleep.  It's funny because she will do everything I do for her bedtime routine.  "Shh, no more books.  Close eyes."

She refers to me as baby, honey, or Danah.

She can sing her ABC's but most of the time she just says QRSTUV, ABCDEFG, or Next time sing with me, over and over and over agian.  She can count to 10 great and even to 20 with a little help.  She can spell her name, and she knows all her colors and shapes.

She loves her friend Gracie and talks about her a lot and will say "Gracie my Best Friend".  When she is having trouble listening or when she wants me to stay a little longer cuddling or at bedtime she tells me I am her Best Friend.

She still has good and bad days at school and gets frustrated with her friends.  She does understand her behavior and that we should share and be gentle so I think we are close to her using her words more and her hands less when she is upset.
