Happy Passover!

The search for chametz - for Ayelet, how fun to discover these new activities, for Talya, she is now the teacher!

Life With a Two Year Old

Life with a two year old is definitely different the third time around. Ayelet is loving, funny, expressive. She loves to be with her sisters and her mom and dad and she misses us desperately when we are not around. She always wants to be independent and even tries to dress herself, by herself. She loves to play outside, riding her tricycle, swinging on the swings or blowing bubbles and she loves to snuggle on the couch and watch an episode of Dora The Explorer. If Talya or Michaela are doing homework, she too must be doing her work with her crayons or markers, pens or pencils.

She is also head strong and stubborn and insists on getting her way. She doesn't hesitate to express herself through tantrums. When told no, she is sometimes inconsolable, re-direction doesn't work so well these days. I forgot how difficult some days can be with a tired two year old...

No matter what though, this amazing person has the four of us (and some others) wrapped around her little finger. She is in a constant state of change, learning and growing, and becoming more of a little girl each day. For the most part, I embrace each change, sometimes though, I miss that little baby she was not so long ago.

Here are her two year stats:
Height: 33 inches (25th percentile)
Weight: 24.4 lbs (20th percentile)

Happy Birthday Ayelet!

Childcare or Beauty Salon

I usually leave Ayelet in the gym's daycare while I work out during the week. Today (and the last few times I have left her there), when I picked her up, she looked like a beauty queen! Thank you Molly and Dana!
