The Joys of Toddler-dom: Emerging Personality

One joy (and also a challenge to be honest) as of late has been Monica's emerging personality. She knows more of what she wants and knows how to get it! She is more willful, and better able to express likes and dislikes, needs and wants. She isn't talking a lot yet, but that little face is full of expressions. Even in the past couple weeks she has started making more faces to communicate what she is thinking and feeling. Sounds like someone else I know all too well...let's just say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. I wear my heart on my sleeve...or I guess, more accurately, I wear my heart on my face. I've never been a good liar nor adept at hiding what is really going on inside my head. It looks like our daughter is shaping up to be similar.

You should teach her sign language. She'd LOVE it and the amount of time we saved knowing exactally what Logan wanted was well worth it. check out www.babycantalk.com
I'm tellin you, Its a lifesaver. Kendal knows more, eat, daddy, and milk.

Monica does sign a bit, but can be a bit resistant. :) More and All Done have been life savers!!
