The Not-So-Terrible Twos

I may have mentioned before that Sunshine is learning to be two. I've had an 8 year old that acted like a 20 year old before, but have never had a two year old who didn't throw tantrums. Or cry. At all. Or spill. Or whack someone from time to time.

While this not acting like a two year old is can really be EASY, we don't really want her skipping her terrible twos.

So an internal party was had last week when Sunshine cried over a toy for the first time. And then we gave it to her. Another party was had when she spilled her food on the floor and didn't immediately hop down and pick it up.

This is our definition of progress: Sunshine learning to be a kid, learning to be two, learning that messes are ok, disagreeing is ok, and fun can be had.
