I feel like it’s important to document these moments.  As much as I love this little personality that is emerging, this little girl packs a punch.  She has a will.  And she is learning how to exercise it.  Penny is a wee 1 1/2 years old, and we are knee deep in time outs.  For the most part shes pretty obedient, but in rooms with lots of people and lots of distractions its not so great.  Our days of the pacifier actually quieting our little “angel” are gone.  She’ll scream with that thing right in her mouth.  She is also reaching this stage, where she really wants to do something, but isn’t quite capable enough yet.  She gets so frustrated when she cant open something, or play with it correctly.  I sort of feel bad for her, but I’m sure she’ll get it right next week.  She’s learning like CRAZY.  Mockery is her favorite pasttime and we have officially hit the place where we may start have to watching our mouths. What an adventure this parenting thing is.  Woof.
