(Signs she knows more than she’s letting on…)
…She can repeat songs like “la la la ” or “da da da”
…After rolling over and into the rocking chair, she smacks it and points at it, saying “Don’t!”
…I begin singing and she places one finger in front of mouth in a shhhh sign.
…While trying to put her in a baby carrier (to be worn similar to a backpack), she arches her body and falls straight back, arms straight out and holds her body rigid. (Unfortunately for her, I still weigh more than her and thus have an advantage. Even if it is only by 67 pounds. I still win.)
…She quickly throws her perfectly good toddler food in the floor when I get my bowl of food out to eat with her. Experts say to eat meals with your kid. Nobody told me she’d be feeding her food to the dog and taking over my bowl. (Not that I blame her, my food is generally less healthy than hers). Today she had chicken parmigiana for lunch. Last Friday, she had Uncle Ryan’s pizza.
…She tries to bribe me with her toys.
…If I ask her to eat something she doesn’t find interesting, she’ll try to feed it to me. If I refuse it, she’ll throw it to the puppy. I’ve tried more baby food than you even want to know. Sometimes, she’ll follow suit, but sometimes she just raises an eyebrow and laughs at me in response.
…She knows how to use the cell phone…and laptop. She can type randomness, and she knows how to make outgoing phone calls, put people on hold, and how to hang up on people. She will answer a phone with “hiday!” and will tell her dad, uncle Ryan, and grandparents that she loves them “Iluhew” (or kissing the phone), and then will say “bye” and hang up on them.
I'd love it if you stalked me (subscribe to my RSS feed). Thanks for visiting!

It’s crazy to see how quickly they learn and develop. It truly is amazing!

I read your post on Crafty Crow asking for ideas for crafting with age 1 and 2. I recommend the book Toddler’s Busy Book by Trish Kufner (not sure of spelling of her last name). It has lots of fantastic ideas for that age group. My boys are now 3 and 4 1/2. My 3 year old is still not much of a crafter. Sometimes it is a personality and/or attention span thing. My older boy has always had a long attention span.
You can always give your little one some collage materials, construction paper and a glue stick! Those bingo dauber dot markers are fun as well. No mess. I got mine at Michael’s with a coupon.
Hope that helps.

She’s a sharp one! I’d toss some pureed blandness for a bite of pizza anytime too
