Terrible Twos

I was crossing my fingers that you won't go through the terrible twos but today you threw your very first full-blown tantrum.

And it didn't get any better tonight. Basically, you've got 3 adults scrambling to see what will calm you down. I think next time, we're just gonna have to ignore you.

You've been increasingly contrary this past week. Won't hold hands while walking, needing a specific fork or spoon when eating, wont' let us help you eat even when your food is falling all over the place, won't let us help you drink. No, no, no on everything. You're getting on my nerves but I still love you to pieces.

Hope this storm passes quickly. Love you, sweetie.

Daddy's Home

Dad's home for a few weeks before he's off to...gulp...Iraq. I'm going to enjoy our time together. That's what I'm gonna do. Then later, he'll be off to do the job that WE BOTH went into with our eyes wide open. Someone's gotta do it, and he will do it well, like he does everything.

I could hardly contain my excitment at the airport! Here's what Mina did when she saw her Dad. I think it's safe to say she remembers him.

The next day, he prepared breakfast for us. Here's Mina's plate. I love how he always emphasizes aesthetics when dining.

Here's the father and daughter duo playing! I love and have missed seeing this!

I have really missed going out as a family, sharing meals, watching movies and TV together, and just spending time all together. I feel complete.
