It's like Anna waited until she was precisely two-years old to come alive. She just gets it now...with so many new things; that, or maybe now I am just getting it that she has gotten it. She understands more, says more, attempts more, accomplishes more, and gets frustrated more when she can't do all that more the way she sees it happening in her head. Still, every day - no, every hour - I seem to remark to myself or Josh about something new I notice about her or what she's up to. It's totally fun to see her discovering and processing and engaging with the world around her in new leaps and bounds.
One of today's new things she did: "Riddit! Riddit!" (trying to jump whilst on all fours) "Riddit! Riddit!"
What? I thought. I didn't get it until I saw what she saw on TV.
Me: Are you being a frog, baby? Ribbit?
Anna: Uh-huh. Riddit!
I didn't even know she knew what a frog was. Amazing.
Trying hard not to envy you. These are such precious times. I loved the toddler years with my two, except for one thing...they went way too fast.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I love it! Natalie says "uh huh" a lot too!
ReplyDeleteAmy - What I love about the toddler years is that they are not the baby years. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new blog layout and picture. I love informal pictures that capture the natural moment instead of posed pictures.
ReplyDelete....and baby years, not my favorite so much, they seemed to drag.
