Amy will be two next Tuesday.  Though there are days when she acts incredibly “two”, she sure is a sweetheart as well.  She will often reply to a request that I make of her, “Sure Mommy”.  There are moments though when she can be rather naughty.  The girls and I were at DeBry’s home for dinner on Sunday (Chris was on pager all last week and got paged just as we were to leave).  Amy wanted to feed herself, but we were eating spaghetti and their dining table is on carpet.  She got mad when I tried to help her and though I grabbed a glass of soda out of her reach as she tried to hit it, I wasn’t fast enough with the soda container.  She spilled the root beer all over Rochelle and the carpet on purpose!  I was so upset with her.  We had been having a rather frustrating week together and this was just the icing on the cake.  I wanted to just leave and bring the girls back home, but everyone was kind enough and wanted us to stay.  Oh, the joy of a two-year old.

When I put on makeup, Amy likes to use my brushes and sponges to make herself look pretty too.  She always wants me to apply eyeliner to her eyes, but has been happy to settle for freckles on her cheeks and nose.  It is pretty cute.
