"Toddler" seems so inadequate. If a kid can climb ladders, she can't really be described as a "toddler." But "preschooler" seems a big premature, so I'll stick with "toddler."
Twenty-Six Months Fun Facts
- Hair: The hair-extraction started again, so we took her in for another cut. After the hairstylist had completed a regular cut, Chandler still had a lot of hair that she could have pulled out, so we went ahead and shaved it. Not a fun moment for mom, but Chandler didn't seem to mind. We've gotten a few odd looks. I'm afraid some people worry that she's ill, because frankly she looks it. Many people assume it just hasn't ever grown in yet. I let them think that. Fingers crossed that this will break the cycle.
- Literacy: I guess that's what you'd call this: Chandler points to letters and says "A." We'll call it early literacy skills.
- Counting: She can count to five, but it's all in rhyme. So, "one, two, three" comes out "bun, rue, free." And it's different every time.
- Humor: Chandler told her first joke, sorta. It went like this. Chandler, "Knock, knock." Mom, "Who's there?" Chandler, "Baby." Mom, "Baby, who?" Silence. But she's got the structure down! Now we just need a punch line.
