Hannah’s exactly 2.5 years old today!
While I’m uncertain too if Ling would agree with me on this – I think we’ve just recently passed the toughest stage of her ‘terrible two’ too. Over the last month, while she seems to have become a little more assertive and independent minded, she seems to have been able to comprehend her own emotions and less ready to breakout into tantrums.
It comes out of many simple things. Like for instance, not lying down on her stomach immediately after finishing dinner. I’ll tell her gently not to do that on the sofa and follow it through with an explanation on why it’s bad for digestion – and she’ll listen. Or understanding her the importance of her bed time routine and agreeing to stop watching her favorite A-B-C video (Ling made it specially for her last week) for the night. Little things like these.
OK photos though not from this evening but just two days ago over dinner.=)
She sure looks content! Oh, and Ling made an A-B-C video?
Coincidentally, I recently rewatched a handful of season one West Wing episodes.
