Wynn just turned 18 months old. It seems like the day she turned one and a half, tons of tiny circuits got connected in her brain and over night she changed from a cute, sweet baby into a very stubborn, determined kid.
NO! is a constant part of her vocabulary. She will not eat things she used to love, maybe just so she can say NO! and mean it.
In contrast to all that confidence, she has become afraid of certain things. Mostly they seem to be outside things. Recently as the wind rustled the leaves and as they swept past her, she let out a high pitch scream of terror.
Today we played at the park. It was a nice sunny day. But her shadow kept scaring her and making her quite mad. She would try to push and shove it away, run from it, hide from it. But it was always there.
In contrast, William is now starting to leave the terrible two stage. We still have a few months until he is 3, but his vocabulary and thoughts have progressed to a point where a conversation is possible. There is some reasoning, and unless he is exhausted, he is a great kid.
Time passes so quickly. Now that William is nearly past the age of insanity, I can sense how close I am to to then end of this stage. And while I relish the idea of big kids with words, and bladder control, I know I will miss my babies.
