with vee's
increasing
vocabulary
comes
her ability
to let us know
when she
wants
(or does not want)
something.
she can
also clearly
assert
her
displeasure
when
she does
not get
what she wants.
don't
let this
sweet smile
or
curious tilt
of the head
fool you,
if
she wants it
she aims
to get it.
she has
thrown
more
mini-tantrums
in the last month
than we are use to...
we do not
see
her
assertion
as
a bad thing.
it means
she is
really
beginning
to voice
her opinion
and
this means
we understand
her better.
she can tell us
when
she wants
to swing...
or
when
she
wants us
to refill
her watering
can...
or
that
she
wants
to go
somewhere.
sure
she is sassy
and
mischevious...
but
she
is a hell
of a lot
of fun.
she
is also
showing
us her creative
side...
as well
as letting us know
when
she wants
some
vee-time
with
her blankies
and
a good book.
we are
enjoying
watching
her world
get bigger
and
watching
her find
her place
in it.
