In the last few months, Mabel's personality has really developed and she is quite the character. I am torn many days between laughing at her and sighing in exasperation. In fact, it is almost as if there are split personalities.
Personality #1:
The child in the photo below is sweet and kind. She says, "please, thank you, excuse me and sorry" without provocation. She giggles and plays hide and seek. She loves ice cream. She will push her babies in a stroller all day if you let her. She will sing songs (ABC's, twinkle twinkle, Baa Baa black sheep) and says things like "I'm a naked" while wiggling her butt. She plays pretend with her brother. She cuddles and she loves and she is nothing short of an angel.
Personality #2:
The child in the below photo is the same child...I think. In this photo she is refusing to go to bed and is holding her baby stroller four feet in the air refusing to let go. It is hard not to laugh at her attitude. I am not really sure where/how it started; but she crosses her arms and scowls with the best of them. She is very strong willed. She also went through a biting phase and everyone was a victim at least once.
I am not sure if these are the terrible twos arriving early, but this little girl sure keeps us on our toes - you never know what you are going to get on a moments notice. But no matter what - I wouldn't trade her for anything else.
