Making big steps!

We've been reaching some big milestones so I thought I would play some "catch up" with what the girls have been up to:) This week BOTH girls have successfully "gone" on the potty at least once a day. Ellie will tell me now before she has to go, and then she actually follows through with it once I put her on. I'm not pushing the whole potty training thing at all, because lets face it, I am a big fan of convenience, and two 2 years olds in underwear does not seem convenient at all! But I do think its fun that they are into it and I am not having to do any forcing:) They both like to be in the bathroom together and close the door on me, and then there are just a bunch of giggles from there! Molly has fully entered her "2's." She is extremely hot and cold...and just skips out on the middle part. She can throw a tantrum of the century, and then two seconds lately, completely win your heart over and make you forget it even happened...that takes talent! She loves to be goofy in front of new people and tries to entertain them. She is extremely demanding, which isn't good, but on the good side, she knows what she wants. She loves to go off and play with "big kids" whenever they are around. She will challenge herself on every piece of the play ground and has come to be quite the risk taker. She will never accept help and says "my do it!" And then once her task is comlete, she says "yay! my did it!" At least she is proud of her accomplishments:) Everything is hers right now..."my" mommy, "my" daddy, "my" Ellie...not sure if thats good or bad, but at least she wants us all to herself! Ellie is our silent little firecracker. She makes everyone think she's nice and sweet, and then once you mess with her, she'll fire! She takes a while to warm up to people, but once she does, she's the first to come give hugs AND kisses goodbye. She also knows exactly what she wants--when the girls get dressed, Ellie will tell me which one is her's and which one is Molly's...even if the outfit is EXACTLY the same! Same with food, she knows exactly which one belongs to her...fortunately Molly doesn't care:) Ellie loves to play with people's hair, likes to watch movies and eat popcorn, loves the swings, and doesn't like to jump into situations too quickly. She is very independent, and while she loves playing with her sister, she is also happy doing her own thing and not being bothered. We have tested separating them a couple times lately, which is interesting. They each had individual 2 yr old well checks. Molly was crying the entire way to her appointment because we left Ellie:( As where with Ellie's appointment, she just told the dr that Molly was sleeping:) Then last week, Braden took Ellie to see Planes, since she has the attention span for an entire movie and I took Molly to JumpStreet to jump on the trampolines. Again, Molly cried when Ellie left her:( When I asked Ellie what she did she says "saw movie with Daddy...Planes...I eat popcorn, soda, and milk." And I asked Molly what she did and she said "jumped with my mommy."
