Two year olds learn so much in so little time and it seems that everything needs to be processed by all five senses as often as possible. Sophie is discovering that she doesn't have a "weenie". Instead she has two bottoms. However, When she is naked as a jay bird she runs around the house doing a little bootie dance and singing, "this my weenie, this my bottom, this my weenie, this my bottom." Happy as a lark.
On a recent trip to McDonald's she sat on a park bench next to the giant plastic Ronald. This particular Ron has one leg crossed over his knee which makes a large triangular space between his legs which is just big enough for Sophie to stick her head in and repeat over and over again, "you have bottom, you have bottom, you have bottom." Which is exactly what she did. Normally, I wouldn't mind the chatter except that the hollow legs created a megaphone effect thus amplifying the tiny voice......I'm just so proud of her!!!!! It makes my heart glow to see her learning!
You haven't lived until. . .
You have spent 3 hours at Mayfest in the rain with your 4 year old daughter in a pink tutu, hair and makeup all done, tap shoes she can't walk in b/c they'll ruin so you have to carry her from the North entrance all the way to the South entrance all the while being biten by Texas size mesquitos only to watch her perform for 2 1/2 minutes. Did I mention that the costume cost us $100! Yes, we'll probably do it again next year!
