The monster emerges

Oh my goodness little girl, you had me scared there. Last week you got super sick (throwing up, fever, exhaustion..the works), you recovered fine, but I was semi convinced that you may have skipped the flu and been bitten by a radioactive spider who transformed you into a 'monster baby'. Following your illness you were a terror. I'm fairly certain you said nothing buy variations of 'No' for 3 days straight. "Noooo mommy!!" "NOOOO!". Not particularly about anything, you'd just sit in a corner, by your self, screaming no. I wasn't sure how I'd handle this if this was going to be your terrible twos. All the way to work in the car I'd hear a little voice is the back seat "noooo mommy!, no! no!". At one point you picked a fight with a paper towel roll..thrashing back and forth on the ground, screaming at it as it kept rolling back at you. It was rough.

Fortunately, you seem to be over it that phase already. Which is good, I wasn't sure what we were going to do with you. You've been in high spirits ever since. You LOVE your teacher (Miss Erica) and yell "Yay Erica!" every time we pull up to your school. You're also doing this thing called jump bunch at school where you play with different athletic related things, you LOVE it. Here's a video...it's super long, but the end is worth watching. You are so proud of yourself and are usually beaming as you do different moves:

You're also working on counting. Though you mostly do "1...2...5...1..." and then either "Jump bunch!" or "Friday!". I love the sentiment even if the counting is suspect.

You adore your siblings and are always ecstatic to see them when they get home. Alright, I'm buried in work so here's some recent pics before I get back to it. I adore you sweet pea!
