I Am Mommy

I can’t believe next month my little girl will be TWO years old!!! Time flew by indeed.

Here’s what babycenter have to say…
What’s your toddler doing? By 23 months, your child can probably hum and sing and make three-word sentences like “Bird fly high.” An artist, she can most likely copy circles and make line drawings. So encourage her with a big box of crayons and plenty of paper. And she’s beginning to get a handle on opposites, like tall woman, short woman or big hamburger, little hamburger.

Your toddler may now be able to throw a ball overhand, though she’ll probably miss her target most of the time. The whole-arm coordination that allows her to throw usually emerges somewhere between 18 months and 3 years.

If your toddler is ball-shy, start with rolling games, which will be easier and also less scary (try rolling the ball slowly toward her feet). Spongy balls or beanbags are great for indoor use — set up a pillow or bucket for target practice.

As her world view broadens, your toddler will take more of an interest in playing with other children. She might imitate how an older sibling plays soccer or follow after other kids as they play tag.

Looks like she’s on the right track and more. My little girl is really a todller now…
