Terrible Two?

So Matalley is becoming a bit more demanding and defiant these days.

• If she doesn't like what you ask her to do, she sticks out her bottom lip, points her head down and crosses her arms with a great huff. It's really hard not to laugh which is the reaction she wants...she waits for it, then looks up at you with a sly smile.

• She really likes to say, "come on" and then pulls you by the thumb until you follow her.

• While I was talking to Matt on the phone this weekend, I could hear Matalley in the background saying, "hey....hey.....hey-hey....HEY!! DADDY!" When she finally got his attention, she said, "here," and handed him her empty milk cup.

Love the determination...hope it serves her well and doesn't get her into trouble.
