Lindzabug

Meet my Lindzabug who has entered the terrible twos. She is stubborn and determined. Lindsey is my first child to cut her own hair, to color on the table and tile floor and to climb out of her crib. At the young age of 2.5 she is trying to give up naps. I’ve tried to explain to her that she is a Gardner. And that Gardner kids take naps til 4 years old.  Yeah, she’s not going for it. So we try every other day and she ends up playing in her room for 30 min. before she comes out. After taking one look at her room, sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it. She has pulled out every book and toy in that room. When I tell her she wants to be a big girl and wear Dora underwear, she says, “No, I’m not a big girl, I’m Lindzabug.” Oh dear.

In this picture, she is trying to get the laptop that is on top of the fridge. I have to limit her screen time because she loves the computer, TV, itouch and Leapster a little too much. In the beginning, I would just put the electronics on the bar. Until one day when she got the step stool out of the pantry and climbed up on the counter.

Good thing she is pretty dang cute too!
