Mila's 2.5 Years Old!

It's been a long time since I've posted. We sold our house, moved to a new place and I just moved my office at work to a cubicle on top of my move at home. It's been a crazy time.

What can I say - I love my Mila to pieces. She rocks my world, wears me out, sometimes....brings me to my knees and daily..... makes me smile and laugh. Being her mother is the best thing I have ever done. I love her beyond measure. Here are a few updates:

1. Mila is extremely active! So loves to run, jump, hike and do anything that involves being active. I LOVE that she is so active! What's concerning is that she can almost out run me.....she's only 2.5 years old.

2. I LOVE her new daycare! There is a big push for potty training which I am not sure she is ready for but, she loves her teachers (esp. Bo Bo), I love her teachers and finally I am able to sleep at night knowing she's in a good place.

3. Mila can count to 20 and is starting to recognize letters. We go on walks and she sees the name of streets on the sidewalk and says "letters."

4. Mila is very much a 2.5 year old. She says "no" and "I don't want to" on a regular basis. She pretty much cries/melts down whenever I tell her "no." She often goes to time out just for crying/melting down and not following directions. It's hard and drives me crazy sometimes. People say 3 year olds are harder than 2 year olds.....if that's true....I am in big trouble!

5. Mila continues to love to dance and asks to dance on a frequent basis. She has some cousins who are very "girly" and now she insists on wearing skirts when she dances.

6. We went to the fair this month and had a great time! It was fun to watch Mila really enjoy the rides and animals.

Mila loves rabbits like her mama
