This One

Oh, this one. When she is sweet she is very sweet but when she is naughty she is very naughty. Terrible twos, maybe. Trying to be as independent as her older sister, much more likely. She is in a scaredy-cat stage of sorts. She still mentions 'Santa Closets' at least once a day and is looking for reassurance that he won't show up unexpectedly on our doorstep any time in the near future. She follows up with, "Santa Closets taking long nap in his castle." Alright, sounds good to me. She also still insists on singing Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer every night before bed. Besides Santa Claus, Little Sister is frightened of every costumed character. About a month ago we were watching the noon news and they were showing a dragon for the Chinese New Year parade and she flipped - ran up to the tv turned it off while screaming, "No dragon!" and then proceeded to beg to go up to bed. When she isn't busy keeping her eye out for people in costumes or wearing hoods (hoods elicit the same reaction) she loves to wear dresses (flat-out refuses to wear pants) but doesn't like to wear tights. Loves to create with Play-Dough and play Squinkies. She does not care for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but adores green beans. Has a mouthful of teeth (finally!) which all decided to come in at once. Still refers to herself as 'you' and whenever she wants to show me something she says, "Show me somepin, show me somepin!" On the potty-training front, oh wait, there is no potty-training front, just Lil Sis telling us when we need to change her diaper and sweetly chirping, "No ganks," when we ask her if she wants to sit on the potty. Her favorite exclamation right now is, "Holy mokes!" Oh how we love this Lil Girl!
