So Pria is two now. With a lot of personality...
Toddlers are a very fun but can be pretty...um strong willed to put it nicely. I constantly have to remind myself that at this age she is trying her hardest to communicate her needs to us and we are trying to communicate back to her. And she gets frustrated because she either can't express what she wants to tell us or she doesn't like what we are thinking she is trying to communicate. It becomes a difficult battle. Thus the reason people call it the terrible twos.
Thank goodness for naps otherwise I would go nuts. Nap time is my break time where I can unwind, relax and calm my nerves at times.
Pria was able to say about 100 words by her 2nd birthday. A lot of them other people don't understand or hear what she is saying but I know what she is saying.
Her top favorite animals are horses and dogs. Cows and cats come in second place.
Pria is doing gymnastics. She did an 8 week session this summer and Roger bought her another 8 week session for her birthday that we are still doing.
She is excellent at jumping. Very balanced and keeps her legs together. The trampoline is her favorite activity. She is also very strong when it comes to the bars and climbing up things. The kids also do balance beams, walk up ladders, somersaults, hand stands, tuck n roll, tunnels, and other fun things. Every other week is different with her. One week she is super happy and follows the other kids/teacher. The next week she is fussing and doesn't want to listen to anything anyone wants her to do haha. Oh well.
She is definitely learning from it though. She practices at home all the time and has even started to climb cupboards...Erg...
Pria eats everything. Although she still hasn't taken a liking to potatoes or fish. So I give her DHA or Omega 3 medicine/drops in the morning to make sure she gets those nutrients missing from fish.
She is still sleeping with us. Sleeps through the night. Goes to bed on average around 8:30 and gets up around 6:45/7am. I immediately have to get up with her. She pulls my eyelids open and pulls my hand. In the middle of the night if she is restless she always calls for momma. I hug her closer and she wraps her little arms around my neck and goes back to sleep. Dustin has it easy when it comes to sleeping.... Grrr...
We also got rid of Pria's pacifier when she turned 2, that she started having when she was about 9 months old. Such a relief to have that gone...
Next project is weaning her off nursing which I have just started. Fun.
