Terrible Twos???

Okay we're back...We have been busy, busy and I have not been motivated to blog, but now that we're in our new place and the Internet is hooked up we are ready to go...I thought I'd share with you the naughtiest night of Sophia's life...

So we met my mom at McDonalds (not my favorite place) so she could play with her cousins and as we were getting ready to go the fun started. I told Sophia that it was time to go and she responded with, "No want it!" as she runs away from me (yah, that's not going to happen). I snatched her up and go to the car. This is where the fun really starts...As she is stiff as a board I am trying to put her in her car seat. She is crying and throwing herself from side to side. I am using all my force to keep her down in her seat. With all the thrashing around I am staying quite calm but using a firm voice when all of a sudden she SLAPS me in the face. I think my mouth dropped as I am trying to process what just happened. As I'm processing she looks at me again with that, what are you going to do about it? look and does it again. "OH NO YOU DIDN'T!!!" My initial reaction was to beat my child, but I thought that wouldn't be a very good example of not hitting. We had the whole not hitting talk, etc etc and when she got to Gamma's house she sat in the "Time-Out" chair to have some thinking time. She said sorry and gave me loves...pheww, are we staring terrible twos already??? Bring it on...

So you don't think my child is totally horrible here are some of her favorites lately:
-Counting to 22
-Singing "It's Raining, It's Pouring"
-Singing "5 Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate..."
-Pretty much singing any song
-Counting backwards from 9 (I couldn't believe it)
-Knowing the sounds for the letters a and b
-Arguing with "yes it is or no it's not"
-Telling me it's O-O-October!
-Putting herself in "thinking time/time out" and not budging until I come get her (I know that one won't last)!
She is definitely learning and picking up a lot from her Preschool!! It is very exciting to be a part of her learning:)!
