So the niece S turned 2 late last month. And is now a formidable force to reckon with. *LOL* You know how it is at this age.....cute and exasperating at the same time.
I love it when she's independent and eats by herself quietly next to me [yep...she actually has pretty decent motor skills...the contents of her spoon actually make it into her mouth with no spillage! *LOL*].
And hate it when she cries to get her way...what's up with kids doing the "pretend" cry complete with tears? I apply the "distraction" strategy..."Who wants to go for a walk?" and the crying stops instantly. *winks*
Having lots of fun with washi tape and mists. And check out the sequins courtesy of my bloggy pal Alice Wertz...yeah...sensing a new obsession in the making... hahaha...
Playing along with the sketch by Sian Fair at Sketchbook 365.
*Edited* This layout made Super Scrapper at Sketchbook 365.
