Terrible Twos In Full Effect

Being 2 is rough.  Bella is really upset when she doesn't get what she wants.  It's the end of the world for this little one.

She will lie on the floor with her face planted down and cry.  There's something to be said for the younger one, her older sister never did this!

However, she has regressed in sleep just like Katelyn did at 2 years old. Bella no longer can be put down awake.  She wants someone in her room until she falls asleep.  She typically wakes up at 1am standing in her crib, crying for Mommy.  Mommy will make Bella lie back down in her crib and stay in her room until she falls asleep.  Bella will cry again around 4 or 5am.  At that point, Mommy will go back in Bella's room and end up sleeping with Bella on the guest bed until it's time to get up.  What a spoiled little girl!



She has been getting timeouts for throwing things on the floor.   Bella hates time outs, but this girl has to learn!

Bella still puts up a fight when ever it's time to sit in her car seat.  She will stand or arch her body when Mommy tries to strap her in.

She doesn't like to change her diaper or her clothes.  She will run away any chance she gets.  She thinks it is really funny to do this.

The teachers have told Mommy, Bella kicks off her right shoe every day during lunch.  Some of her friends at school have started doing the same thing.  The teachers say the kids don't talk about it, it just happens.  When lunch is over, the teachers will see a small pile of shoes under the table.  Mommy never noticed this until this past weekend, Bella's right shoe was off.  What a strange habit especially since it's always just the right foot!

Katelyn's class had a showcase and displayed dioramas of the solar system they made.  Katelyn named each planet when Mommy and Daddy came to the showcase.

Her class had a field trip to the Academy of Sciences as a fun way to end the solar system curriculum by watching the planetarium show.   Katelyn loved spending time with her teachers outside of school.

The kids lined up for a class photo after eating lunch in the cafe.

The girls went to the  Children's Creativity Museum in Yerba Buena Gardens over the weekend.  Katelyn built this tower.

She made an airship in the Innovation room.

Katelyn got to test it out.




Bella pretended to make pancakes and served it to Mommy.

She also liked building a tower.

The afternoon ended with lunch and ice cream for dessert.
