Good-bye "Terrible Twos"

and hello Tremendous Threes! or Terrific Threes! or whatever positive "t" adjective you want to substitute. I'm over the "terribles."


Two went by super fast and wasn't too terrible. Ellie has learned so much in the last year, most of it good. She's learned how to be a great big sister, how to ice skate (kind of!), how to swim, how to do art, how to have a sleep-over, how to get dressed, how to appreciate music from The Beatles to Beyonce and much much more.


Today is my last day - for the next 18 months - of having a two year old. I think we are both looking forward to what 3 brings - soccer, ballet class, preschool and many more adventures.

And that is the part I hope we say farewell to tomorrow!

Bring on three, we're ready!
