The latest things...

Terrible two's. I can see why people came up with the name. My daughter isn't so bad. She's a very intelligent child. At two years, and three months, my baby girl can talk in sentences, hold a pretty good conversation, knows right from wrong, and she knows a lot more than a two year old typically does. However, as my little girl grows, so does her personality. She is JUST like her mother. She is very well behaved....when she wants to be. When she doesn't get her way, she fights tooth and nail. This little girl has fits like no other child does. She can also be the most loving little girl I've ever seen.


"Daddy" doesn't make things easier for her. Now he is around. The quote "Be careful what you wish you" is too true. I used to wish he was in her life, that he would just care. Well, wish granted. Now he is all up in her life. My baby girl doesn't want him there, and now I have to fight extremely hard to get him out. Turns out that "daddy" isn't such a good daddy, after all.


Being a mother is the hardest, and most rewarding job there is. I see Skyler grow every day, and I'm so proud of her. There are trying days of course, but that's okay with me. I still love waking up and watching Barney, writing her name with her over and over again, drawing all the shapes for her a million times, and eventually, I'll miss stepping on those toys she leaves out, and hearing her laugh at the goofy words I use to replace swear words. I know that I'll miss these days, even the ones that aren't going so well.


Skyler is the light of my life, I don't know what I would do without her. I could never imagine life without my little peanut. She amazes me every single day. I just hope that she doesn't view school the same way I did. If she does, I'll be looking for the "Miss Hoyle" that will make sure she does her best, and isn't afraid to tell her mother when she acts up. I hope that she doesn't make the same mistakes I do, but even if she does, I'll be right here to make sure she does better, and make sure that she knows I still love her, forever and always.
