Crafty Sisters Papercrafts and Goodies!

Finally got something set up!! Yay:)

Daddy's Girl

Oh, I so hate these phases. I am doing very poorly handling the fact that I am second best right now:( She doesn't want to snuggle me or hug me, just daddy. It sucks!

Counting and the Alphabet

So, it's official, my babybee is a genius:) She has been able to count to 20 all by herself for almost two weeks now, and can recognize every letter of the alphabet when asked! I don't know too many babies who can do these things at 19 months. She can also recognize any shape thrown at her (no, not literally.... I can just see myself lobbing plastic shapes at her). She knows all of her colours and can differentiate light and dark shades! These are all things that she has learned by asking. I decided long ago not to force her learning, and to just let everything come at her own pace.

Terrible Twos! (at 19 months)

I am at my wits end. My always wonderful, gentle, sweet, sleep-through-the-night little girl has done a complete 180! Nothing works to calm her when she has her temper-tantrums. I've tried ignoring it, redirecting her emotions into something constructive, laughing and making light of it, and snuggling/restraining to keep her from bonking her sweet little head. *sigh* Oh what to do? Hopefully babybee grows out of it, soon, lol. I'm thankful that I know about these things, and am not getting angry or upset. I imagine that it would make it all the worse for both of us if I did. Oh, and everything has to be HER way, without exception (which usually leads to the rolling on the floor fits). It's really quite funny watching such a teeny person doing such a thing :)
