Yep, she's 2 alright.

2 Years Ago.

1 Year Ago



I loves me Da!

We are a GOOD lookin' family, no?
(I wish I had biceps like that. Alas, it's just squashed against my boob.)




She happily shared Brobee with Evan ONLY
because she loves him.

I can NOT believe the title of my email is "Your Preschooler."

I do not have a preschooler.... I have a baby, right???

Handling Big Emotion:

Two-year-olds give the biggest hugs, flash the biggest smiles, and yes, throw the loudest, most spectacular tantrums. Because they live in the moment, their feelings are especially transparent. It's tempting to want to keep things happy for your child at all times. But it's also important for her to experience emotions like sadness, frustration, and anger without always being "rescued" by Mom or Dad, so she can learn to cope better with small setbacks. (I'll work on that I promise.)

Can you believe it? 23 Months!

The wee one is going to be 2 in a couple weeks. It always sounded so cliche before, but it goes by so fast.

Every day she becomes more of a little person, and every day she becomes more fun. I'm looking forward to her being able to full-on converse with me.

Here are a few of her favorite things at this point:

Wow Wow Wubbzy

Yo Gabba Gabba!

She despises a crowd of any size, so we're going to have to think this birthday celebration through... What to do, what to do...
