Writer’s Workshop: Only Two
Tiger girl striking a pose
Girls really grow up very fast. They mature much faster then boys and learn extremely fast. I have seen a lot of changes in Tiger girl since she turned two years old.
Her vocabulary has increased tremendously and she can now carry out a full length conversation with her grandmother on the phone. She is able to relate what she has done in school and ask you how your day is.She is able to follow instructions and asks questions if she is unsure about how to carry them out. She shows a lot of interest in reading and learning new things.
Tiger girl gets very frustrated when other people doubt her ability and gives them the ” stop looking at me like that look
” when they wonder if she is able to do the task at hand. Her favourite sentence is ” I will do it myself!!” if we try to guide or assist her to complete the task.
She sure has a really independent streak and is not scared to try things out first on her own. Sometimes after trying a few times and not being able to figure out how to do it she will come and ask me ” Mummy help me please!!”
I’m glad that she tries and does not give up easily. She has a really positive attitude and it will certainly bring her far.
How was your kid behaving when he/she was two?
Were there any memorable moments?

I’m having a mental block on whether my kids were terrible at two or just talkative at 2? Perhaps talkative since they can express what they want then.

My girl is only ten months old but she is showing her wits and charm already. Iwonder what she will be like when she turns two.

my kids are very curious at this age and they like to explore, invent and create things. 🙂

You are very lucky, Dominique! Of course, I remember when he was two!!! He was all over the place, climbing whatever he wanted to climb, but when he needed to behave, he would… like, I never experienced him having tantrums at malls crying over something; he was invited by his 23 year old cousin to go to Cebu = only the two of them by plane (this early!) because my husband’s family really loved him and he was so behaved with them! If he was at home, he would drink milk. If he was out of the house, he would drink juice! He was so friendly and talkative and appeared hyperactive! When he outgrew this stage, my co-workers missed him a lot!

My 2y.o. son is delayed and is currently undergoing occupational therapy.

She seems to be a very self-sufficient and independent little girl. It’s encouraging that she tries things on her own first before asking for help. 🙂

I have nephews and niece and they all have admirable developments! With proper guidance throughout the years, they turn out to be smart, adorable, kind and funny kids!

Oh yeah, girls learn reaallly fast. My girl could start to talk back at two! Not necessarily a good thing but a milestone nonetheless. Keke. Glad to hear bout Tiger girl’s positive attitude! Way to go!

Not only that she matures fast, she is independent and knows what she wants.
She will be of great help to you

I agree with you. Girls do mature faster than boys. I can see little girls who act like an adult already. But my two-year old son is a little different. He converse well and talk like an adult. Sometimes, I was amazed how he learn to talk that way. Though sometimes, he is still a cry baby. Hehe.

She is so cute!
My son at age 2: he was adventurous but shy, and very easy going. my daughter at age 2: she was a button pusher and a rule breaker, and definitely a handful!

Tiger girl is just so adorable!
This is why I journal about my kids lives. So I can remember.
My son was more laid back and just bouncing off the walls! He loved his toys and talking and talking and just learning new things. He especially LOVEd his sister and would give her everything and she was just a newborn then.
Baby girl was into reading everything she could find! And coloring and stomping her feet 🙂 Ahh how these things makes you smile now.
Keep enjoying your sweet ones!
Happy Thursday!

Your daughter is a LOVELY!!! And she knows two for sure.
Two is the terrible year for the kid and mom, really. And mysteriously they get better behaved when they hit three. That is my observation from experience, our kids (5) and grandkids (6).

I remember my daughter being very bold and courageous. I was always afraid for her. She didn’t know how to be afraid of ANYTHING. I think the age two is a little tough to handle. It has to be like a challenge for moms to prepare them for the future or something. Nice photo editing!

She’s adorable! I love that age! I do remember my boy being 2! He was never “terrible,” just fearless! I miss that age! Enjoy it!

Awww–what a cutie! My boy had some words right around a year, but they all disappeared at 15 months for some reason. We had to get him speech therapy, but he is fine now at 5.

Tiger Girl is so cute! My daughter is 16 so it’s a dim dim memory! My son is 13 so sort of the same…….but my daughter was definitely a talker and had a sparkly personality. It’s fun remembering that during the teenager challenges!! 🙂 Not to bash teenagers — there are good parts too! 🙂

Ah.
Two.
I remember that age both in my children and now my grandchildren.
One of my favorites ages.
Along with one, three, four, five, six…etc.
She is so lovely.
Thanks for sharing her with us.
