We have definitely reached the terrible two stage with Isla and, seriously, they weren't joking when they called them "terrible". It has been a difficult past two months, but we have had our bright spots. One thing that has been fun is that she has developed into a bit of a girly-girl. Under no urging of mine she recently asked me to paint both her fingernails and her toenails. During the bath after her "pedicure and manicure" she was adamant that we did not touch her fingernails and toenails for fear that we would mess them up. She has begun to play with her dress-up clothes, loves to take her purse wherever we are going, and has taken an interest in her attire. This development has been sort of surprise to me as I am more of a tomboy than a girly-girl, but I am loving it all the same.
She also loves to brush my hair and Ryan's hair whenever she gets the chance. It is awesome watching her brush Ryan's hair because when she is done she says "Daddy, now look at me" and when Ryan turns to look at her she exclaims "oooh Daddy that is sooo cute."
This weekend the terrible two's continued, but so did Isla's love for all things girly. We were playing outside and when Isla noticed that I grabbed my camera. She instantly grabbed her sunglasses so she could have them on while I took her picture.
Striking a pose (notice the upside down sunglasses - didn't you know that this is new cool way to wear them?):
Showing off her sidewalk chalk (notice the shoes on the wrong feet - again the cool way to wear them now):
After I took these pictures, Isla insisted that she had to go inside to get something. I thought it was going to be her purse, but this is what she came out with:
Pearls, hat and gloves - why not? My favorite pose is below - whad up?
Oh Miss Isla you are definitely giving us a run for our money, but it's moments like this that make it all worth it!
