the terrible TWOS

Wiley is two! It is yet to be seen if they will indeed be terrible. I doubt it. I do think they will be more difficult than Blue's third year of life but that is mainly due to their personalities. Wiley wants so badly to be independent and do things on her own. But sometimes she just can't and that is frustrating for her. Blue would gladly let me put his shoes on for him to this day if I made myself available.

Wiley at age two is an amazing communicator. She speaks in full, and mostly grammatically correct, sentences. She still seems so little and has a little voice so listening to her talk is really, really cute. Her favorite color is pink. She loves to sing and listen to other people sing. She is an observer, taking it all in. She can still throw a mean tantrum. We finally ditched the bottle and, true to form, she refuses to drink milk out of a cup. Graham thinks he is going to be able to stay one step ahead of her but I have my doubts ;). She does love her daddy though. She insists upon picking out her own clothes in the morning and often tries to put them on by herself as well. I bought her some new shoes the other day and it took her exactly 45 minutes to find them high up on her shelf and walk into the living room wearing them.

This is what Wiley was doing while we sang Happy Birthday.

This is what Blue was doing. 

We love you, Wiley-girl.
