21 Months Old

Cali Maple is 21 months old today!  Where has the time gone.  It seems like everyday she changes, learns a new word and does something new.   She is a full on toddler, fits and all.  We are have started to work on discipline and obeying authority.  If she doesn't listen she has to go sit in the corner.  She seems to be catching on.  She was having a hard time listening to Nick today so he asked her if she needed to sit in the corner to calm down, she shock her head no and gave him a hug.   One small victory is nice when there are so many battles.

Cali is really starting to be able to communicate and give her opinions and wants.  I told Nick is it going to get harder now that she can let us know what she wants, before we could just make her do whatever we wanted.   She is also able to do things that you ask her to do, which can be helpful!

Just being cute

This is Cali "helping" clean one of her bowls.  This is the bowl she also fell asleep holding.

She likes to look at herself in the frame around the fireplace.
