Little Diva

Little Diva - you are now almost 2 and a half. What are you up to?



You are about 37 inches tall and 29lbs. You wear mostly 3T clothes, though a few 2T still fit. You are tall and skinny, so 3T pants fit lengthwise, but fall off your waist.

You are beginning to learn how to dress yourself. You can put on and take off Velcro shoes, socks, and pants. You are learning how to put on and take off shirts.



You are full of life - funny...that's the meaning of your name!

You are a typical two year old...short attention span...full of attitude...head strong...happy...and independent.

You got your Mommy's stubbornness...probably your Daddy's too!

You are talking up a storm. From the moment your eyes open in the morning to the time they close at night, you talk...NONSTOP. We wanted you to talk so badly when you were a baby. Now we just long for a moment of silence every once in a while.



You LOVE your baby brother...you love to make him laugh...you love to play with him...you love to take baths with him...and you love to tattle on him.

You know all your colors, numbers from 1-20 (not always consecutive), shapes (including things like trapezoid and hexagon...you are the daughter of two math teachers), upper and lower case ABC's, and are beginning to recognize a few words.

You enjoy coloring and are beginning to both grasp the colors the right way and gaining concept of coloring inside figures. You are far from coloring in the lines, but you are very meticulous about making sure you have a mark of some kind in every shape and figure on the page.



Your favorite shows are Mickey Mouse and Dora the Explorer.

You are wanting to do EVERYTHING by yourself. In fact, you hardly even want me to read to you anymore because you "want to do it yourself".

You still love food. If you had a choice between cookies and carrots, you'd choose the carrots. But you're becoming a little more picky since you're not growing as fast.

You are almost potty trained. You have several dry/clean days in a row IF we take you every hour and a half to two hours. If we left it to you to tell us, you'd just go in your pants all the time because you don't tell us when you need to go.



I say that you have two volumes...extra loud and asleep. You tend to yell when you speak. I think your Daddy and I are about deaf.

As I said before, you can get a little attitude once in a while. We see this face a lot.



You tell us that you are "Daddy's Pumpkin" and "Mommy's Princess". And you tell anyone who talks to you that too. A lot of people at church are aware of those two things now.

You are always making comparisons. Tonight, you compared something I bought at the store to something that I had thrown away earlier. So what did you do? Dug it out of the trash to show us! "Mommy, it's just like this one!!!"




You LOVE looking at Christmas lights and trees.

You are a dancer and a singer, though right now your singing consists of only one note.

You love to smile and laugh. You, as I said before, are full of life...and our precious baby girl!
