anything but terrible

Life with a two-year-old is bursting with fun!  Deals keeps us laughing through most of the days with all of her energy and imaginative play.  She loves playing with her dolls- her favorites are a prince and princess that she calls "cowboy" and "cowgirl" since they have a pony they ride.  She can play for hours with her talkative pals in their castle...

Cowboy: What are you doing?
Cowgirl:  Sleeping.
Cowboy:  Wake up!
Cowgirl: I'm sleeping!

Cowboy: Where are you going?
Pony: Upstairs
Cowboy: What are you doing?
Pony: I'm upside down!  (followed by all the animals and dolls standing on their heads)

We also get a kick out of her pronouns and confusion over thank you/ you're welcome ...

Deals:  "Hold you!  Hold you!  Hold you!  Hold you PLEASE!"  (Mama picks her up.) "You're welcome!"

And, the dancing!  Oh, the dancing!  Deals started her first dance class last week with a group of friends, which is a natural fit since it's one of her favorite things to do at library storytimes, in music class, and at home.
