terrible twos

My kids start displaying "terrible twos" behavior from age 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 (at least that's how it was with Eliska). Emma has definitely started this phase & I am having to baby proof (toddler proof really) everything all over again. She is climbing on the not-so-sturdy bar stools, the kitchen table, dumping out the napkins, salt & pepper. She has been having so many tantrums (mostly over candy). Today I told her she could have a candy if she ate her fruit, she sat there screaming her guts out. Finally I gave in & as soon as I gave it to her, she just held it in her hand & finished the fruit. Only after she was done did she eat the candy!

here's the outfit she picked out today

her latest wall art (dragging a piece of chalk while walking up the stairs)

at least I know it's only a phase!

HAHAHA! Just Kidding, but she looks so mischievous in that picture like she is thinking, "I'm going get you mommy!" Good Luck!

I miss you and love you and I really want to go to Disneyland with you!
