Troubles & Triumphs of a Growing Family: 28 months of love!

Its crazy most days to sit and watch Brooklyn as she plays and talks. She is starting to use imaginative play with her toys and makes them talk to each other..or she will cook me a meal with her kitchen..or take care of her baby dolls. She has grown up so much the last few months. She has also learned to hit and punch. I am trying so so hard to break this quick but she sees her brothers fight and learns from them...unfortunately its very difficult to keep 3 close in age boys from fighting. She doesn't think twice about taking a swing at one of her brothers. Not usually Zach though....Zach is her buddy. She will go right after Dylan and Colton though. She is still super shy around people she doesn't know and also around other kids. I wish she would open up more around others and have fun. She has such a bright and spunky personality I wish she would let it show! She is wild and crazy with family but nobody else...except a few of the boys friends that she loves.

So at 28 months Brooklyn:
* loves her princesses more than any other toy
* can name all 11 princesses she has...Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Anna, Elsa, Tiana, Belle, Aurora, Merida, Ariel, and Sophia the First. She also knows Jasmine but we don't have one yet
* says all of her L's with a "ya" sound...."yay" down...
* calls Germ X ..Germ soap :)
