terrible twos

It has been a while since I have posted anything and most of that falls on me, I've been busy. But a part of that, a small part, well maybe a little more than a small part but definitely not a large part of that is that Ada has hit the terrible twos. Not a whole lot to blog about when Ada is constantly screaming, saying NO, hitting, throwing herself on the floor, and basically acting her age.

But, every so often there is a ray of light, a moment when Ada forgets that she is supposed to be acting terrible and does something very cute. Case in point, the other morning, after dramatically getting ready for school, with a tantrum or two thrown in there for good measure we finally get loaded into the car, Ada is sort of pouting, because well, that is what she does these days. I got into the groove of the drive and hadn't really noticed that Ada had started munching away on her waffle that Elliot sends us off with each day. Ada usually eats about two bites of her waffle and then sets it on the seat next to her - but this morning was different. Instead, she ate THE WHOLE THING, and when she was done, she handed me her paper towel that was previously holding her waffle and said in a very astute voice, "Daddy makes good waffles". I couldn't help giggling slightly, yes dear, Daddy is a pro at pulling waffles out of the freezer and putting them in the toaster. That slight giggle was enough to pull Ada right back into her terribleness, after all I was mocking her and Daddy! So she spent the rest of the ride in adamantly defending her Daddy's cooking skills. Yelling and screaming over and over again that "DADDY MAKES GOOD WAFFLES!!!!!!"

Count down to her third birthday begins! 4 Months and 12 Days.
