Lyla at Two

A few things about Lyla...I started this when she turned 2, but a lot has changed in the last 2 months. Especially her speech.

When I ask Lyla to ask nicely for something, she always says "watient!" (patient) **now she says "pain-tient"

Is starting to put words together and make small sentences "I want more" or "Daddy's cup"

Is really good at assigning ownership to things. Last week her cousins came over and had some snacks, and now when she sees the bowl that Emme used, she points at it and says "Emme's!", or "Eliza's" for the cup Eliza used.

Loves to dance still. Shake it off by Taylor Swift has been her favorite for months, but she also really likes "cool kids" by Echosmith.we get lots of demands to hear both of them around our house.

She knows most of her colors, and loves to point them out when she sees them. Orange seems to be her favorite so far. She loves to ask for "yellow spoon", " blue one", "orange sippy"

Gets so excited when football is on. If she sees a tv with a game on, she yells "football!!". She also has been trained to say "go Broncos!"

She looovvvees snow. She is always asking for snowballs that she can eat. She has always loved ice, so it goes right along with that.

She is still obsessed with her dad. Todd and I switch off getting up with her in the mornings, and she usually calls for him when she wakes up. When its my morning, I stand outside the door and tell her its Mommy, not Daddy, and she usually screams "no!", and throws herself down on the mattress and screams for a bit till she can get it together and be ok with Mommy ;).

She will go limp and lay on the ground and say "I dinosaur". We're not really sure where she got it from, but its pretty cute until you're in the middle of the grocery store and she does it.

She asks Todd every day when he comes home from work "Fun work, Daddy?". It's so cute and sweet.

I thought that she had hit the terrible twos early, but I was wrong. She appears to have hit them now, and they live up to the name. It is still sooo much fun around here though!
