I just realized that Mira is now 26 months old . . . and what a great age it is! She's been asserting her independance lately, telling us "no" and "I want to do it myself!" It takes a little longer to get out the door, but it's so fun to see her face light up when she gets her shoes on by herself. She's fully potty trained now (has been for a couple of months) and will often emerge from the bathroom without any pants on. She doesn't even bother to tell me she has to go anymore, she just takes care of it by herself. Of course, I still need to wipe her, but it's nice that she takes care of the potty duties herself. Her opening line to anyone at the store is, "I pee-pee in the potty chair and poo-poo in the potty chair. Mommy gives me M&Ms!" People pretend they are interested and proud, which is nice.
This age is full of chatter and I love talking to her, finding out what she did that day. It's interesting the things she pulls from her day to tell me about. Mira's taking a dance class (creative movement, they call it) and is really enjoying it. She needs to work on listening better to the teacher, but is getting good experience in a classroom setting.
I have to say, I've always thought that each age is the best one, and as she gets older, I now think 2 years old is the best age. She still likes to cuddle, but can do things for herself and can communicate with me. She finds things funny and considered her mom and dad to be pretty cool yet. I can't wait to see what this year brings us! Here are some random shots of Mira.
Love, Michelle

there is nothing wrong with albinos! we all just wish we were tan!
What a doll! Every age with the kids brings something fun, but when they can look at a book and learn something every day, it's just amazing. Just think what kids learn in the first few years.
