Personality: Sweet Violet turned two last month. Spunky might be a better term to describe her than sweet. She loves to keep up with her sisters and is adventurous and fearless. I was amazed how easily she could climb different ladders up to playground equipment this summer. She didn't let anything stop her. She also loves jumping off couches and other rambunctious activities. She does a cute side skip when she walks places. She loves music, singing, and dancing. She is still fairly needy and wants to be held or near mommy a lot of times... but she is starting to go off and play with big sisters more often. She loves being silly and getting laughs from people, and she has picked up on our family's love of books and brings me books to read often!
Transitions: She changed from a crib to a toddler bed a month before turning two because she climbed out of her crib! She transitioned well for the most part. I am officially done with the crib stage. It's a bit weird, but I didn't mourn it. Violet also has been doing well with potty training. She's not completely trained. Since she turned two, she has been consistent with going on the potty- if she's not wearing any underwear. But as soon as I put underwear on her (or a diaper), she goes in them. Hopefully sometime soon she gets that part down!
Birthday: We had a small, laid back birthday for her. She opened a few gifts at home and had a small cake as well. Then we went to the local ice cream shop with grandparents.
Words: She talks a lot but only when she wants to. She talks clearer than my others as well. She says some small phrases, and she always says them deliberately and slowly which I love. She says, "I love you" and "I bite you" (when playing with sisters haha) and "Ride bike, mommy" and "Where did sissy's go?" and "Go outside, mommy" ... I love hearing all the words and phrases she has learned!
Dislikes: Being told no, not being held, not getting to do what big sisters do, sisters pulling on her, not getting to buckle herself
