I guess they don't call em the "terrible twos" for nothin.

Wowzers! Toddlerhood is so demanding! "I do it!" "mommy sit here" "I done!" these are just a few of the demands to grace my ear drums on a daily basis. I have had to begin doing time outs, which breaks my heart. Don't get me wrong it is filled with LOTS of good stuff too, but it seems on the days we disagree, we REALLY disagree. :-/

Take today for example, we are playing and she spit on me!! I couldn't believe it! She had to be put on a time out, and she cried for the whole 60 seconds of it. Whew! I just hope my patience comes back in the next few seconds. Lol.

We did our first painting activity the other day and it was so fun!! We turned an old coffee canister into the new home for her crayons. She loved it and and asks almost daily now if we can paint. Although the canister didn't turn out how I "planned" (there we go with my over-planning haha) it is beautiful to me because she made it how she wanted to.





She wanted to paint all day! Here is the finished product:





Gotta get the day going, hope its a great one for everyone!
