Back in America

My Darling Terrible Two :)

No, actually you aren't really that bad. You're testing your boundaries, yes you are. Seeing how loud you can scream, how long you can cry, how hard you can hit things, if you can actually throw a tantrum. Most of the time you just laugh yourself out of it. It looks like you know how silly you are being. Sometimes we have to turn our backs and ignore you until you come to yourself again. That is a strong measure and it is sad to do. In general though, you are a cute, sweet, and funny toddler and we love you so very much.

Papa is extremely glad to have you back. It is very wonderful to see you two together and makes living here in this... place... bearable. And boy do you love your papa. You ask for him almost as much as you ask to eat. I would say it's papa 40%, eat 50%, poopoo 5% and mama 5%. Oh wait, out is 5%, poopoo is 3% and mama is 2%. And I'm not exaggerating! LOL.

You also love the roomies, especially Jnana. She's like an older sister to you and you love to play with her and be read to from her, and hang out with her. We think you call her, "Nana," but there was a banana nearby that day so maybe you were talking about that. You haven't repeated it so we're not too sure. The truth is you like to play with all the roommates. They're all just the right age for you I guess and they don't have children of their own to take away attention from you.

Your words have hit the 2 syllable stage. You haven't strung 2 words together yet and your, "What's this?" is still, "Uhng, uhng?" My favorites so far are: finger, towel, and beer (although I'm not sure if you are really meaning beer), oh yeah, and computer. Yes, you say computer which IS a 3 syllable word! How 'bout them apples?

You're also starting to use the potty now. Both the big one and the baby one. I'm afraid we made it a little confusing as we started you on the big one and now all of a sudden there's this little one you're supposed to use. But you used it today 'cos mama was on the big one. Yay!

I think you miss people because you look worried when you say, "Papa," and he's not home. Or when you say, "Roro," which is sadder because you won't see him for another couple of months. But for now you've got the big kid roommates to play with and it seems like it's ok.

With all my heart,
Mama
