On Being the Mommy of a Two Year Old

I'm writing this as she's beginning a tantrum. Though it seems short lived. She wants a popsicle. We have a policy ("One per customer, per day," as my dad says). She knows this policy. She's had two today. Could explain the current attitude. Possibly. I'm not ready for the terrible two. Better yet, I'm not ready to be a full time student and the mother of a two year old. I am experiencing some great "What if's" right now as it's difficult to find a moment to carry all my groceries inside. But all that aside, I'm still not ready. I've had over two years to prepare for this. I haven't read enough books. Babysat enough kids. Done any case studies. What do I do if my neighbor turns me in to DFS while she's throwing a fit? Smile and try to talk my way out of it? I'm sure we'll be fine. But good Lord Almighty; where does the time go?

I LOVE the pictures! - especially that sweet black and white one - I just can't believe that she's growing up so fast - it seems like just yesterday you were telling us that you were pregnant - and then we were going to the movies ( you, me, and your very pregant belly ) while we knew you would still have time to - I still can't believe that you have such a beautiful little girl - that's right Rache not just a really cute baby but a real live LITTLE GIRL - Wow!

Wow, it doesn't seem like any time at all... we're so old! The last picture is her finding a Ladybug! It was a very cute experience!

Hey rach sorry my phone lost service last night. She is getting big. I remember her at the age when I babysat her. Sometimes I wished I had one but I know I am not ready for it. Lol I could not handle it right now. We need to get together some time soon. I still have that stuff for you.
