Yesterday the kid turned exactly 2.5. That's an interesting age -- they start to understand things and to control things, and, apparently to use inappropriate language, in our case. The Spanish equivalent of "shut it" has been yelled at us whenever the kid is dissatisfied with our discipline lectures. We are not exactly sure who's behavior she is modeling, because in our home we don't use rude language, and we don't yell or swing arms. But we don't live in a vacuum, so whatever influences are out there, our influence has to be the deciding factor ( at least until she is 13 :) ). And, C handled it very well yesterday, i was proud.
But, on the bright side, the interesting thing about having a little kid is that every day there is something new: either a new word, or a new game, or a new understanding of something.
Yesterday the kid came home and drew a face, all by herself. Previously she would draw eyes, a smile and a nose, but only after she already had a head drawn for her. But yesterday she drew eyes, smile, nose, ears, and then a big circle around it for a head. The head turned out quite a bit big for the face, but everything was quite symmetrical.
