Wow! 13 pages. I'm just getting started but I wanted to add some, because many days I just want to get online and mention the cute things that my toddlers are doing - which, naturally, I'm going to forget now that I want to add to this thread.
DD is 20 mo. I love the way she says things like, "No way!" or demands things, only to be met with a "be nice young lady" and then she changes her tune to a "please?". Or when she tries to sing "I lah you, I lah you, big hug" and lays a HUGE hug on me. Those hugs and kisses included are her specialty. Oh, how I love those giant hugs!
Thankfully, ds still loves to hug and kiss as well, though he doesn't do it as spontaneously any more. But he DOES love to runrunrunrun towards me at full speed and topple me over with a hug.
Both are getting independent and want to do things on their own. DS's favorite phrase these days is "My turn Foti" and sometimes has a FIT if I put the spoon in his bowl instead of giving it to him to do it.
I think I've overdone the "you're such a big guy now".
Now, he's also starting to "spell", and he'll put magnetic letters together at random and "spell" a word, which he kind of does read.
Oh, and there's already a short list of words that he's able to read.
They are such a handful but I just love my 2 little bugs!!
