Selah

January 21st, 2010

Selah has been a rather difficult child lately. All TWO and ALL girl. She’s been prone to dramatic crying episodes, screaming and pitching fits. She’s always getting into something, whether it be my desk drawers or her own dirty diapers. (Seriously, the other day she had a full-on dirty diaper, stuck her hand down it, pulled it out, and clearly disgusted with the contents, proceeded to try and flick them off her hand! Ahhh!) We’ve also had quite a war going on at night when putting her to bed. We cannot get her to stay in there… I’m not sure what the solution to that one is!

Anyways, to try and remedy some of these issues, such as the drama, I’m planning on taking her on a mommy-daughter date, to give her some focused one-on-one attention. I’ll try to do that as much as I can at home too. I think she’s having a hard time dealing with the changes. I’ve been trying to come up with some ideas for things to take her to do. (Any suggestions are welcome!)

I got her her own little lip gloss compact in the shape of a cell phone the other day. I was thinking it might be fun for her to play with, and hopefully keep her out of my own makeup. Then again, it might have the opposite effect.

She really enjoyed it…

She can also be such a joy when she chooses to be. She’s always eager to help, has the cutest little speaking voice, and is adding new words to her vocabulary daily. She has a flair for good music and likes to dance. She loves hanging with her brothers and can really hold her own with them. She’s quite intelligent and I look forward to what the future holds with her. (I probably wont be sad when the “terrible twos” are over with either.)
