"Terrible twos" should also be recognized as "impressionable
twos"… it’s at that age most kids are mimicking everything you say and do…
I often look out the corner of my eye and see my mini me
closely watching what I'm doing.
Tying my shoes? She’s studying.
Having a concert in the mirror? She’s got a brush in her
hand, too.
Even when I let my anger get the best of me, she’s watching.
These are the most precious years of her life. It’s how she
learns her place in the world and how she should interact with that world.
Though she may not fully understand it all nor will she
remember much from being 2, the type of mother she has will shape her.
And because of that I will be the type of woman I want my
daughter to model herself after.
I promise.
