More of the terrible twos

And we have another developmental milestone: Addy's version of kicking on people in the shins (I'm telling you, she has more in common with "typical" kids than you'd think). She comes up next to you with her walker, picks the front wheels up off the ground, and then slams one of them down on your foot.

The (very tarnished) silver lining that you can really only see if it hasn't happened to you is that it requires a fair amount of leg strength and balance for her to pull that off. So I'm glad for that I think.

In other news, we now have a time-out mat. It's a flattened diaper box, wrapped in brown craft paper. Addy wanted to help me decorate it. That seemed somehow cruel and counterproductive.
