Juliet is almost two! We almost forgot to take her 23-month photo, which is funny since that is the photo we don't have of Ben.
The outfit in this picture was picked out by Juliet. I mention that only because it is indicative of the attitude we get to deal with these days - she is very opinionated, and is not a happy camper when she doesn't get her way!
In fact, a very popular phrase for Juliet's 23rd month was "No, my do it!!" Or, lucky me, "No, mommy do it!"
Ben and Juliet can make each other so happy and so mad. I guess that's typical of siblings! They will be so nice to each other one minute, and then Ben will take her toy or Juliet will push Ben. Ben gives Juliet about a 3-strike rule; she can push, hit, or pinch him twice without retaliation but the 3rd time is usually the final straw. We're working on this with both of them! Of course, then they'll be helping each other or playing together the next minute like nothing happened.
Juliet got her 2nd upper canine this month. Finally! Only the two bottom canines left to go. At this rate, we'll see her 2-year molars at about 2 1/2. Juliet now insists on brushing her teeth at bedtime even though we'd been lazy about adding that to her routine. She's keeping us honest.
If anything, Juliet has gotten easier at bedtime. She is my rockstar sleeper.
For fall, I got mostly 24-month or 2T clothes (not much difference). Her warm clothes from last year were definitely too small! I need to weigh and measure her but that probably won't happen until her 2-year appointment next month.
See the attitude we're dealing with here?
