At 21 months...

• She knows her colors very well! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, and pink!
• She can feed herself with a spoon/ fork fairly well but doesn't like to use it all the time. 
• She recognizes "circle" and "triangle", and "heart"
• Her tantrums are back, with a vengeance :/
• She climbs up the stairs well
• She LOVES grapes--morning, day, and night
• She loves saying "hi" and "bye-bye" to everyone probably because she likes the response she gets
• She's been extra clingy.  Day care drop offs some days have been quite tearful. 
• She counts "two, three, four". Can't seem to get her to say "one"!
• She enjoys playing with her kitchen and stuffed animals (esp her pink Ralph Lauren bear and stuffed dog Violet)
• I've experimented with time outs with her a few times before and it was met with a lot of crying  however lately when I threaten " do you want time out?!" She says " yes".  Ok...."go over there and look at the wall". She walks over to the wall, sits down and plays.  Fail!
• She hits and kicks me a lot because she thinks it's funny and if I get mad she thinks it's even funnier =/
• I'm thinking she would love a baby doll to play with at this age. She would also love a tricycle. 
• She's loves Elmo (discovered him on her Pampers diapers Sesame Street characters)
• She also loves Hello Kitty ("kee-dee") because she has three hello kitty tshirts handed down from cousin Kate 
• She enjoys watching her "Patty Shukla" videos on my iPhone and iPad. She also knows how to use the touch screen to choose the different videos. 
• She can open doors (noooo!!)
