Toddler Time

Seems within the last 24 hours, my sweet little girl, who never gets frustrated about anything has started to have a short fuse. I'm going to say she's just a little overtired since she seems to be giving up a nap. But wow! Such a huge change. She cried when the old lady said hello to her in Old Navy and poor Adam in Stride Rite! The poor guy was just trying to measure her little feet. Happy to say we did leave with a new pair of sneaks.



Lucy definitely is taking after Daddy. Our little one is so smart! (don't all parents say that??) We were playing outside today and she kept saying the same sound over and over (a lot of her "words" still sound the same, but we can figure it out by what she is pointing to.) She walked over to our stone patio and was staying "ckr," "ckr." Then bent over and pointed to a square block. Then got up and bent down again and said, "erk" while pointing to a rectangular block. I did the good mommy thing and said, "Yes, Lucy, that's a rectangle/that's a square!" She kept pointing them out and saying their names, then as I went to get her ball in the yard, she starts up again and I look over and she is pointing to triangles on our side door! No kidding! I couldn't wait to tell Matt! She also says "O" for oval and calls a circle a "cle." At 16 m. she is amazing us!



We'll see how tomorrow goes with her frustration - lack of sleep does that to me too. I never thought it would happen to us, but I remember something my friend Sandra said, "The terrible two's start way before 2!" :)
