Running with Scissors

 For a couple months now, you've ask to use Mommy's kitchen scissors or you try to get them out of the drawer yourself. For your birthday, Mommy got you your first pair of child scissors. You love them. I don't know if all two year olds can cut as well as you, but I'm pretty impressed. I'll have to find out if you have practiced at school, but you hold them correctly and you cut really well. Now...you're not perfect. You like to make a cut on a piece of paper and then rip it. Or you make tiny cuts. Here's an example of what our house has looked like the past couple of days.

One other story from this weekend, you took a 3 1/2 hour nap on Saturday. It was beautiful outside; so we played a lot outside with the water table, went for a stroller ride, and stopped by the park...oh and you had a ice cream cone :) We went home and read a couple books. I figured you would want to stay up a little later since you had such a long nap, but around 6ish you yawned. So you ate dinner, took a bath, and got ready for bed. We were sitting on the floor, and I was going to read you a couple books before bed. You laid out your blankie, put your head down, and stretch out on the floor like you were about to fall asleep. I went ahead and read the short book and Daddy patted your back. I said "Ok Maevy let me put you in bed." You said, "No, mommy...on the floor." I still put you in bed. Mommy and Daddy gave you kisses and said goodnight. I couldn't believe you were so sleepy, you were going to sleep on the floor! Sweet dreams, Maevy.
