Up until now, it has actually made sense to tell people Grace’s age in months, because saying “One” doesnt get us the same amount of sympathy as everything from 18 Months has seemed to. That said, something tells me that after she reaches 2, we are going to want to stop counting in monthly increments and focus on the big milestones like “Only 3 tantrums in a day” and “Sharing her first toy”.
At 1 month shy of the big 2, iSelf is learning so much and surprising us everyday with something new from school. Where we were once so proud when she learned the word for “More” and asked for “Wahber”, now she requests “Mas aqua”and sends us scrambling for the the Spanish-English Dictionary. She is developing her own opinions everyday and letting us know exactly how she feels at least a few times an hour. She has pride in her accomplishments and they are many, including climbing into her highchair, putting on her ladybug boots and now, rocking Hazel.
Grace’s interactions with Hazel have, up until now, been limited to kissing toes as we tried to protect the youngest Topliff from tough-or just clumsy-love. Today she showed that she thinks Hazel rocks and that she is nearly as interesting as a fish…
