Wow! I never thought two year olds could be this independent. It is so awesome to see Kaylee’s growing independence, but at the same time it’s scary. At the park there is no piece of equipment off limits. She climbs up a ladder 15 feet tall (a little under 3 meters) and goes down the highest set of slides. There she is playing with the “big kids.” At home, she dresses herself and gets mad when I help. She just learned today how to put her arms in the sleeves of her shirt. She has tried for months but didn’t get the concept of going up through the bottom to reach the arm holes. She wanted to go down through the top of the head hole to get to the arm holes. It took a lot of patience on my part to tell her with arms and actions how to do it because she wanted nothing to do with me showing her. After all, she’s a two year old (note the sarcasm) The “terrible” twos are fun to watch as she grows independent, tries new things, and learns how to do so many things. The twos are only “terrible” when she has to be confined at church or if we go to a restaurant (which only happens rarely and usually it’s to go out with other extended family members). It’s so fun!!! I love this age. It’s my new favorite age.
Owen is growing. He is now 27 1/2 inches long and 18 pounds. He rolled over once but hasn’t done it since. He is close to crawling. We joke that he will crawl before he rolls over. Heck, he may never get the rolling concept. But who needs that anyways, right? hahaha
