My darling little girl is now a bossy and sassy little girl who wants her world a certain way. I can't say I blame her because I feel very much the same way but leads to struggles between us. She wants to do dress herself by blinding grabbing the first two things out of her dresser. I didn't even know that a long sleeve shirt can also be pants (I stand corrected) or that diapers are optional when you can figure out how to take them off and where underwear around your waist.
I love her more then you could ever imagine this beautiful little girl but everyday she looks like she has not been bathed in weeks and her clothing covered in dirt and food within minute of waking up. Lucky for me she is into Hello Kitty... I never understood the fascination with Hello Kitty, I still don't but she gets my kid in cloths that match and I think you go girl! You over priced Kitty head on apparel, I am even considering buying Hello Kitty items for myself (can't beat'em join them).
Abby has also found a love for bubble baths, this week she has taken one every night, the are an hour to an hour and a half of splashing, eating bubbles, throwing toys and tonight throwing poop. Yes poop problem in the tub number 3... ahh! I stepped out of the bath room to grab our property tax information and came back to poop being tossed in the direction of the toilet. I hung up on my husband in horror and put her on the toilet to finish and started picking up these fine nuggets. Abby decided she was done and hopped of before I had even gotten to draining her bath. To buy myself some time I ran to the closet for the hidden potty chair and had her sit there while I finished the cleaning. Things finally settled down and she has found the underwear in her dresser and decided she should put them on. I tried to convince her to get back in the tub but she was not parting with the underwear, so I did what I hope most mom's would do and putting in the tub with the underwear. She didn't seem to mind or even care so no harm I guess. This little person is now fast asleep in just a night diaper because that is all that I could get on her and even that was a struggle.
Abby's other favorite pass time lately is watching movies, it first started with that lovable monkey Curious George, I have seen all 5 seasons and both movies I could tell you anything about George or the man in the yellow hat. After a month maybe two she has now expanded to Kitties, Aristocats and I can tell you everybody wants to be a cat. We also tried Lion King (a bit to scary) and now her new favorite Trees... aka The Lorax, I like this movie so far but I have only seen in now about 15 times so things might change.
Overall, a 2 year old is challenging but I wouldn't know what I would be doing without her in our life. Some day, a long time from now I hope that she is blessed with a little girl just like herself so I can enjoy the phone calls about her poop flinging kid who is a obsessed with a Kitty head on apparel too.
