We pretty much just did cake and a few presents while the Halftime show was going on. But two year olds really don't care do they?
Elliot loves to eat avocado ("cado!"). Like, she'd eat an entire one by herself. She's a good eater of most things, really. Though she's not a huge fan of potatoes, or most green veggies, except broccoli. She shares my morning green smoothie almost every day.
Ellie is talking more and more. Most of her words would need interpretation for a regular person not used to her though. She says Breakfast (ri-fash), exercise (zji-zjize), and other fun versions of words. She can also put a few short phrases together and two word sentances.
She is still absolutely tiny. She wears mostly 18 month size clothes, though they're sometimes a little short. She can hardly sit on the small chairs in nursery at church.
Elliot is very independent, as a usual two year old. She wants to pick her own clothes, wants to walk without holding your hand, wants to climb into the car and her carseat by herself, and has specific requests all the time.
Her Terrible Two version comes mostly in her amazing ability to suddenly make all the bones in her body disappear. If she doesn't want to do what you're trying to get her to do, she'll just collapse and no amount of force can make her stand/walk/etc. But then she is also a pro at making herself stiff as a board so there's no possible way to get her to bend to sit into her booster/carseat/stroller. She's pretty dramatic and whips out those crocodile tears at the drop of a hat, only to have them go away just as quickly. Sometimes I think her only speaking volume is screaming.
Elliot pesters her brother far more than he does her. She's always goading him into getting mad at her, which he's quick to comply with. But there's plenty of times where they get along and it's the absolute best ever! Even if it does most often include a lot of noise.
We sure love our Elliot girl. Life with these kiddos is just The. Best.
