Allie just had a birthday. She is officially terribly two! What a great two years it has been! This girl is bursting with personality. She loves her brother. She loves to be a clown. She believes all little girls are called Emma (Her cousin, our neighbor's girl, and another friend she plays with once a week are all Emmas. She only has one friend that is not an Emma). She loves dogs. She loves "annie" (candy) and "ilk." She's sweet and compassionate. Wild and crazy. Active, but a bookworm. Hungry for everyone elses food. Curious and thoughtful. Assertive and independent.
A few highlights:
Allie will say no to everything. We think it's funny. We often ask her "Allie, do you want to play?" "No!" "Do you want some juice?""No!" "Do you want candy?" "No!" Then she paused as revalation crossed her face and she slowly nodded. "Annie?"
She screams "Boo!" at every living creature.
Whenever we go outside, she gets on her belly to say "Hi" to something under the bushes.
She says "Kank Eww!" (Thank you) a minimum of 10 times for everything.
She refuses to wear pants. Dresses and skirts only.
I wore a headband. Allie got so excited about it. Every time she looked at me she'd exclaim "Ooooh!" and do her 'I'm so pretty' dance.

How sweet! Sounds like she couldn't be more perfect. Good luck in the two's!
Word of advice: DO NOT waste money on buying pants in hopes of coercing, bribing, or tricking her into wearing them. They will sit, untouched, while her one favorite skirt slowly disintegrates. The same holds true for tights. I have a huge bag of untouched tights because I thought that maybe, just maybe, she'll like this pair. WRONG!
PS Your header picture is the quintessential "mom chosen" photo, as explained by Bryan Niven: "Everyone in the picture can look goofy or weird, but if Mom looks good, that's the one she'll want in a 24 x 30."
