When I Get Bigger

Tess is constantly telling us what she will do when she gets bigger. She will shave and take a shower and go to work, she told me this morning. She told us last night that when she gets bigger she will eat Dada hot sauce. Then she cried almost the entire dinner because Eric and I were drinking wine and wouldn't let her drink it too.

She doesn't like being treated differently. We have a toilet seat that sits on top of the regular seat to adjust to to be toddler size. Tess now refuses to use it, because it's not what Mama and Dada do. Even though she risks falling in every time she uses the potty now.

She's also reading to herself now. Well, she's been looking through books by herself for over a year, but it's really comical now because she can remember so many of the words. Or sometimes when she's never read a book, she just makes up the story as she goes--emphatically and with lots of expression.
