I took Harper to the park after baby school yesterday. We played on the playground and had a picnic dinner. As we ate and played, I kept thinking about how 2 year olds can switch effortlessly between being totally content, being in total meltdown mode, and then back to totally content again. It's amazing.
For example... as we were eating, a squirrel came over to our picnic table. I threw him a piece of bread and Harper thought that was the best thing in the world. Then she started throwing him little pieces of her bread. Once he started eating it, she became infuriated that he was eating her bread. She wanted it back - even the pieces that he had already eaten. There were tears and stomping of feet. I went over and picked up the pieces that he hadn't eaten yet and gave them to her. I told her not to eat them because they had been on the ground. She looked at the bread in her hand, looked at me, and then said "yes eat it" and shoved them all in her mouth. Then she smiled and all was right with the world again.
I took these pictures with my cell phone - my very old cell phone. You may be asking yourself why am I using my very old cell phone to take pictures. Well, it's because I dropped my very new phone in the toilet and ruined it. Awesome. So, instead of paying a ton of money to get another new phone I reactivated my old phone.
