Anna is definitely in her toddler stage! The phrase "Only Me, not YOU!" is pretty common in our house these days. She is very opinionated about her socks, clothes, rubber bands in her hair, etc. She is super girly and very much owns it. Anna has loads of personality and is becoming more affectionate with people outside of our family. Just last night we had the Alexanders over and she insisted on hugging Ms. Jacquie before they left. Not the boys, but only Ms. Jacquie!
One thing that really tugs at us right now is Anna saying she wants to sit on our "tops." Brent and I have been carrying her on our shoulders at some of the events we've been going to and she says, "Dad, I want to sit on your top!" Once she's up there she says, "Mom! I'm on dad's top!" Just adorable. She is talking in full sentences. Another great one is "I'm happy to see you!"
Tonight at story time she was getting upset because she wanted daddy to read to her. It was mom's turn and she was just adamant saying, "No mommy! Not you! Only daddy read to me!" I actually teared up like a big baby and she said, "Ohhhh!" then hugged me. Then she said I could read to her. I couldn't really help my reaction but it was nice to see the kid took pity on me!
Anna is singing and loves the songs from Frozen. We also love dance parties! Her ever-strong appetite is starting to dwindle at home and at daycare. Ms. Glory says this is normal and good at her age so she doesn't develop a weight problem. Anna is currently in size 6 diapers due to her broad hips (like her momma). The kid is only 28 pounds so she isn't heavy, just broad. Grandma Penny joked and said, "She's a broad Broad!" She is still on and off interested in potty training but I am trying to develop the routine of getting on the potty in the morning and at night. She gets so excited when she's successful but her willful nature is fighting the efforts.
Enjoy the pictures of our bubbly little girl!
