The Princess has entered a new level of toddlerdom. Her language is developing at an incredible rate and new words are added to her vocabulary on a daily basis. Her favourite word is "no" and is her answer to most questions - even if she really means yes. She is so overwhelmed at being able to make decisions but is not yet mature enough to link decisions to desires. The result is tantrums and meltdowns. It's like living with someone experiencing a nervous breakdown.
Now that she has discovered the joy of walking she really really really doesn't fancy been strapped into a pushchair, thank you very much, and so that at the moment is our biggest 'flash point'.
Its not all misery. She is also relishing being alive. She loves exploring the world from her new grown up perspective, and Daddy and I are both loving being her parents. Seeing the world through her eyes is such a gift. Leaves, ducks, sticks and cats all take on a new significance in our lives and seeing what she sees is such fun.
She is also so loving and caring. She now gives spontaneous kisses and asks to hold our hands whilst walking. She says hello and goodbye to everyone we meet on our travels. She is so kind. She will share her toys and food with anyone and everyone and gets so upset if she sees another child crying.
She takes my breath away.
She is the coolest.
I love her.
