Bear update

Good morning from the rooster bear!

Bear and I made cookies together the other day in our nice aprons from grandma. I thought we could do a self portrait.. this is how it turned out!

Bearisms:
On the way to work today bear wanted to sing Old McDonald. She is so grown up now that she gets to pick the animals and sometimes helps with the noises. Her first four options we as follows: Octopus, poop, horse and dog poopie! she was sooo pleased with her self laughing and giggling the whole time.

When she goes to the bathroom she now demands "privacy". So often i hear this sentence "get out mommy, i need privacy".

The other day she was sitting in the chair reading a story to baby. I was hearing things like "baby what is that... a train... point to the train baby". I look over and she is picking baby up by the arm and making her point to the train, then the clown. then they move to the abc page and she is singing her abcs to baby and making baby point to the letters.
I work with two boys that are 4 and 2, they need extra encouragement being "big boys" so i spend the day calling everything big boy and asking them to be big boys. So of course bear now thinks she is a big boy. "Im a big boy" when she puts her poop in the potty, eats lunch really good, puts her toys away or jumps really high. "Im a big boy daddy!"

What she is up to these days:
Singing her ABCs and any other song she has ever heard.
Counting to 13
Potty trained
In her big girl bed, she can get out on her own.. only after mommy or daddy comes to get her!
She likes to measure things with my sewing measuring tape. Her hand is 4.5 inches from wrist to middle finger tip and her feet are 5.5 inches long!
She loves watching Tinkerbell, Curious George and Mickey Mouse
She is very independent, loves to tell mom NO and ignores me with great defiance
Most days i can barley keep myself from cutting her shaggy hair... it is finally growing out and it just drives me crazy the mess it is... but i guess she is two, bad hair days are ok!
She loves "corn dogies," chocolate chips, and Life cereal. What do you want for breakfast bear? "Life" is always the answer now.
