21 months

21 months ='s emotional and unpredictable. unpredictably emotional.

my 21 month old and i were having our daily dance off yesterday when i started our usual banter of what to shake. i start with, "shake your arms... shake your butt..." elena fires back with, "shake your belly... shake your teeth..." we go through it all, or so i thought. until yesterday elena told me to "shake your milk!" while doing this...


i laughed so hard!! which set her off laughing...

my 21 month old is full of surprises and every emotion possible. and thus makes me experience every emotion possible, often daily. they are certainly not all this playful and amusing. regardless, i can't thank her enough for them.

"Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it." ~Vincent Van Gogh, 1889
