My beautifully strong willed daughter turned two at the beginning of this month. It has been such an amazing journey these last two years and I cant wait to see what is to come. Now I said that she just turned two but she has officially been a two year since she was 18 months old. And some days she jumps all the way to a 16 year old! ( I can see now why the Lord has me teaching.... preparing me for the future!) :) Now i would be lying if I said it was easy and that being a single, pregnant mom right now is rewarding all the time but there are days that I wonder when my head will hit the pillow and if my hair will turn gray before I even give birth to my second child or turn 28 :)
Here are a couple signs that you have a two year old as I see them unfolding these past couple months.
1. Everything can turn from normal to dramatic at the drop of the hat....this includes but is not limited to, eating dinner, playing, taking a bath, choosing a movie, picking out clothes and even attempting to use the potty.
2. Healthy appetites can change from "feed me!" to " i dont want that!" You must learn to be creative.
3. Mobility means hands on x 1000000
4. The cribs, pack and plays and baby gates that once kept them from danger are not as effective as they used to be.
5. Their cuddling time is just as awesome and so is their singing
6. Their words at times may not sound appropriate but trust me they are not cussing :)
7. Everything is exciting and surprising and NEW
8. They love and want to be loved
9. They try to eat everything and want to try everything on their own
10. The Lord has a plan for everything and its cool to see how He uses them to teach us lessons.
