Athena is two today! She is the girl who…
- Likes to brush her teeth (aka suck toothpaste off the brush) and wash her hands about 6 times a day
- Loves to nap for around two hours a day (hallelujah)
- Isn’t great at sharing, one for you, three for her!
- Doesn’t like vegetables (surprise surprise)
- Asks to be strapped into high chairs if we forget! (Often she un-clips herself shortly after though!)
- Weighs almost 14Kg
- Likes to run her hands over cars wheel arches, and to pick up clumps of mud
- Loves Owls
- Never turns down a ‘yokyok’ (yoghurt) or a ‘Bicbic’ (biscuit)
- Can run like the wind, especially if it is toward danger!
- Wakes up from her naps all sleepy and hot and sticky
- Has realised she can let herself out of her bedroom (& into ours!)
- Can tilt the bowl to spoon all of the milk out, no matter how long it takes
- Is starting slowly to string words together
- Has hair that never does what its told!
- Soaks the whole bathroom every time she has a bath
- Likes to get right up in the camera lens!
- Makes a fuss when I put her in the but loves it once she’s there
- Loves to throw things around whether she should or not!
- Loves ‘Ocklat’ (chocolate) and Macaroni Cheese
- Will kiss her brother unprompted
- Is obsessed with Owls
- Likes to walk but will suddenly get tired and demand ‘UP’
- Goes to bed or for a nap with no argument 99% of the time
- Has been sleeping in her cotbed with the side off for two months
- Is pretty fearless, climbs up slides and runs into the path of the zip-wire at the park
- Likes to put on her own shoes (then often takes them off before we’e left the house!)
- Still sucks her thumb when she’s tired
- Is obsessed with bubbles!
- Asks me to paint her toenails, spends an hour walking around looking at her feet then has a hissy fit till I remove the varnish!
- Is one of the two best things I’ve ever made!
