Giddyup and Away We Go ...

They aren't kidding about the Terrible Twos: they certainly are something else. And I say that knowing full well that we aren't technically even in the Terrible Twos yet. Now we are 22½ months: old enough to ask for what we want ("Mouse House, mommy!") and young enough to pitch a right royal fit when we don't get it.

Oh, wait, we never really grow out of that, do we?

Mostly, though, I can't believe how much more independent Cupcake gets every day. She can practically make her own dinner at this point, fill her own sippy cups, and definitely amuse herself.

    i kind of think "caago" is cute, though.
