She is constantly asking why? and questions everything. She randomly bonks Zack on the head for absolutely NO good reason other than to get a rise out of anyone near. It works.
She has begun protesting leaving, staying or doing whatever displeases her at the moment and I am learning to pick my battles. Today at the zoo I told her not to play in a puddle and as I went to grab Zack I turned around to her soaked in the puddle. I love natural consequences. She had to just be wet since we had just got to the zoo and we weren't leaving. I silently rejoiced in my victory:).
Much like most 2 year olds, Abby has some adorable little sayings these days. Some of her catch phrases these days are, "that's silly!" and "something else?"and of course, "why?".
Here are some examples that make me laugh!
Abby: Mom, what's that?
Me: a lobster
Abby: A lobster? In a grocery store? That's silly!
When you talk to Abby about what is going to happen or anytime we are talking about a list of things she always asks, "something else?"
Me: tomorrow we are going to the pool.
Abby: what's something else?
Me: we are going to see your friends.
Abby: what's something else?
Me: Uh, we are going to play...
Abby: what's something else?
Me: We love you. Go to bed:).
Abby has been interested in my wedding ring lately and I have explained it is mommy's special ring that Daddy gave to me and it doesn't come off.
She told me that she was going to get a special ring someday and it was going to be "green and pink also. I'll probably marry daddy".
-I am so happy. My heart is going up. (as in growing, like the grinch at the end of the movie)
-Me: Abby if you keep hitting her brother you will be spending more time by yourself in your room. Do you want to do that?
A: Yah, I love myself.
Game over! Abby totally won that round.
Our little Abby is definitely testing us and making us laugh at the same time. I have heard that 3 is worse than 2 and since we will have one of each I guess we will soon find out. Hopefully, we survive!
