She loves helping out and she can be heard several times a day saying, "Here you go, Mommy", as she brings me something she thinks I might need. She helps Don water the trees and plants, and always comes in coated in dirt- she loves playing in dirt, sand, woodchips... anything dirty. Her imagination has just taken off, and she pretends to be a doctor, checking out her baby dolls. She still loves reading and we attend story time at the library every week, coming home with lots of books that we read over and over throughout the week. She also still loves doing puzzles and amazes everyone who watches her put them together. She is bored by the frame puzzles that usually say they are for ages 3-7. She has moved on to the boxed puzzles, some of which have up to 60 pieces. We'll help her the first time putting it together, and after that she can usually do the whole thing by herself- it's so crazy.
Lately her love for Dora has waned a bit and she is now all about Blues Clues. She has her own handy dandy notebook that she likes to draw in.
She is such a happy toddler- though she has her moments- she generally spends lots of time laughing and smiling. She loves learning and just amazes us constantly with what she knows and picks up.
Tonight I asked her if she wanted to put on a pretty dress and go take her picture and surprisingly she excitedly said yes! So we headed out to Townsend Park and I tried to get some shots of her - it was a bit early in the evening, so the lighting was a bit too bright, but I got some good ones to commemorate her at the age of 2 1/2! Enjoy!
