Little Miss Independent

Well, that time has officially come: The Terrible Twos.  So far, Curious Miss V is testing out the 2's through her stubbornness and independence. Yes, we have instituted a timeout chair in our dining room and yes Miss V has used it. For the most part, as long as we let her attempt whatever it is that she wants to do "all by self" she is happy if we then help complete the task. This way, we don't take a million years getting things done!

One task Miss V LOVES to try all be herself is taking lids on and off containers. Milk gallons, water bottles, her pretend laundry soap, and bubbles!

Once she finally gets that lid off the bubbles, then she of course wants to get the wand out all by herself. She has some good concentration and stubbornness!

Got it!

It's way more fun to bend and hit this stick thing on the ground, Mom.

Ok, let's try actually making bubbles

I can get this back in here ALL BY 'SELF!

She must have done this same sequence of: lid off, wand out, smack on ground, blow, wand back in, lid back on a dozen times without even looking up at me once- haha! AND I truly don't think an actual bubble was ever blown :) Here is a look back at some of Miss V's first times exploring outdoors/bubbles. She has changed so much! I am starting to reread previous posts and the whole point of doing this blog has been achieved! I love seeing her growth: I think it is the teacher in me (or parent in general!). 

Lastly, enjoy a throwback to V thoroughly enjoying the bubble machine at Kids in Motion. The toothless smile is the best!
