She is tough, smart, silly, funny, wild, sassy, brave, feisty, and loud.
She talks like a 16 year old. Which is great for communicating what she wants or needs.
It's not so great when she cusses in nursery at church, or turns around the threats that were originally used against her - such as "you don't talk to me like that" or "don't you dare say that to me, mom" or "daddy is going to spank your bum, mom". All in proper context. All loud enough for people to hear. All enunciated perfectly. Her latest obsession: potty talk. Heaven help us.
She is a lover and a fighter. She wants to snuggle you for .5 seconds and gives kisses and hugs without being asked, but will turn on a dime and pinch you as hard as she can to get a rise out of you. She picks on Boston like a big bully, but has fiercely defended him on play grounds or from cousins she thinks are being mean to him.
She doesn't take anyones crap, and I LOVE it about her, except when she thinks that means she doesn't have to take mine. She doesn't let anyone tell her what to do, which I find so funny between her and Boston or with her friends, but it's not funny that she feels the same way about adults. She says "YOU don't TELL me!" Seriously. No one taught her that. So much attitude packed into one tiny little body.
So do you see what I mean? She is all over the place. Every 5 minutes there is a whirlwind of emotion coming from this girl, and it could be something sweet or something nasty. You just never know. Most of the day I'm either laughing at her hilarious comments and personality, or trying not to let my head explode with frustration.
She is a wild one. We are rolling with it, after all she is only 2.5, so what can you really expect? But let me tell you, thinking about her teenage years keeps me up at night. Seriously.

thinking about her teenage years keeps ME up at night. And I'm only her aunt! But I'm scared for you guys...I'll pray for you
;) ha ha, kidding...I love her feisty personality! It cracks me up...mainly because I'm not her mom, so I can just laugh at it all :)
oh my. good luck with this one! ;)
You described her personality perfectly - which I thoght would be hard to do since I've never seen a little 21/2 yr old quite like her. Think positive - maybe she will be the one telling the bad kids - "you don't talk to me like that!" or when she comes up against peer pressure she will be the one saying - "YOU don't TELL me!" Wouldn't that be something? That's my dream for you - so that you won't be pulling your hair out when she hits the teens :) She's hilarious! Can't wait to see her next month.
Your toast.....and I think its funny.
