At the Dawn of Two

At almost 22 months, our little 'angel-cakes' has adopted some colourful new 'expressive' phrases that I am oh so proud of.

'Get out of the way' - Mostly to me and usually when I am bending down to give her a kiss. Lovely...

'Go away' - accompanied by a shove, this beauty of a phrase is lovingly directed towards anyone who 'gets in her face' (ie hugging, picking up, wiping face, stroking her hair)

F&*k - A personal fav. We drove down to Portland last weekend for a little chillaxer before the busy Xmas season. The lineup across the border was atrocious and we had to wait over an hour on a weekday morning to get through. It was undeniably tense in the car as I had to stop at Wired Monk to pick up a real coffee, stretching our time before getting to the border. Really, she captured the moment perfectly with its use. But I couldn't stop laughing at the sound of it - it had been weeks since both of us had even said it around her. So - all the way down to Portland, and at various stressful moments during the weekend, she went off on these F&*k tirades. Then repeated again at granma and grandpa's today.

I need to buy a video camera. This stage is golden.

Hey Laura! I have got to say that your blog makes for really intersting and fun reading. But on the other hand, I am ashamed to say that this is the first time I've read it! Happy parenting, and lots of love from your favorite uncle Daryl.
