<-- You, wearing a red shirt that was one of my favorites when your daddy and I were dating. You called it a "heart dress".
Your vocabulary is exploding and you speak complete thoughts in your sentences now. Here's an example. Yesterday, we were in your toddler pool and you and Charlotte were splashing around. You had your Ariel doll in the pool with you and I saw you talking to Ariel, telling her she was "bad" and it was "not nice to hurt Ruby". She told me that Ariel needed to go to time out, so I put Ariel in "time out" and told "her" she could come out when she could say she was sorry. You said "No, Ariel. My pool. Ruby in the pool". I asked if Ariel was allowed back in the pool. You said "No. Ruby In, Ariel in Time Out". I asked if Charlotte was allowed in the pool, to humor you, and you said "Yes. Baby Charlotte In. Ruby In. Ariel in Time Out". Such clarity. :)
Poor Ariel was eventually back in your good graces, was allowed to "apologize and give Ruby a hug", and you continued splashing and pouring, laughing and singing for a few more minutes before we had to head inside.
We are planning your birthday party to be a "mermaid party" this year. Number 3! If anyone asks how old you are now, you say "Two Dollars", which started after we made an ice cream stand and you pretended to sell ice cream for two dollars to us. Somehow in your brain, the concept merged that you are also two dollars old. We're working on that one, but it's so cute when you say it, it's hard to correct you!
