This is a few weeks late but I've been working on it for a few weeks too in "ALL my free time" lol
We have a new nickname for Miss Brooklyn. We now refer to her as "baby gorilla". It fits her perfect! She climbs, throws, hits, picks, pokes, rubs, pats, stomps, and terrorizes everyone and and everything in her way! She can also be the cutest most cuddly toddler ever. I think she is hitting the terrible two's way early. She can throw a temper tantrum like no other! And let me tell you, getting her dressed or changing her diaper is at least a half hour battle than usually results in her running around half naked with her diaper half way on. I am usually sweating by the time I have her fully diapered and clothed.
I have now experienced my toddler peeing on the floor, pooping in the tub, throwing yogurt from her high chair, rubbing bananas in her hair, eating crayons, and throwing fits...not so fun!
But I have also experienced her exploring her environment and watching her learn. She absorbs knowledge and new information like a little sponge! She loves to do new things and be outside. She got to play in her sand/water table the other day and the joy on her face was priceless. She is so smart and amazes me everyday. I have seen her learn to love and care. She will give hugs if someone is upset or crying. She loves to give kisses to her sister and is always concerned when sissy is crying. I have experienced her doing new things that she finds funny. She loves to to make people laugh by stomping her feet, spinning in circles, running wild, and screeching at the top of her lungs. She is learning more and more everyday. All of these amazing new experiences far outweigh any of the not so fun toddlerhood experiences. She is a pure joy!
