As hard as it is for me to see her grow up, I am so happy to watch the little lady that Morgan is becoming. There are all types of phases that two year olds go through, the needy phase, bad dreams, no sharing, independence...just to name a few. And as each phase passes you see how much she has learned and how she has developed.
One of the phases that is constant is the no sharing phase. Whenever Morgan has friends over to her house to play it is a hard lesson to learn that you have to share your toys with your friends. To her everything is "mine." I can't imagine how hard that is to see your toys in someone else's hands. I am sure she thinks someone is taking it away from her. But, the other day we were over at a friends house and Morgan did such a great job at sharing I was so proud of her. She would play with something and then let her friend play with it next. Taking turns has definitely been established in Morgan's eyes. I am sure there will be many tear over sharing in the years to come...but, I am happy to see Morgan growing and learning. Baby steps.
Morgan has also really started to gain her independence. It seems that we are hearing "I'll do it myself" a lot these days. She wants to get in and out of the car herself...pull up her "pull up" by herself...go on the playground by herself...and so on. She has also started to like to help me cook. She wants her own bowl...her own apron...and she wants to "mix it herself." It is wonderful to see her develop the independence skills and learn who she is as her own person.
Another thing Morgan has really started to do dream. She wakes up sometimes in the middle of the night confused about where she is and what is going on. Last night she was talking about the "brown fire", who knows what that is but she didn't want it to get her little sister. How cute is that.

I started this post and didn't get a chance to finish it. During this time my poor little Morgan came down with the stomach bug. There is nothing worse than waking up to screams in the middle of the night and find your baby sick. Poor thing was sick all night long. She kept saying "sorry for choking"...which is what she calls throwing up. Breaks my heart...I wish you could take that away from your babies. She is finally coming around. But, she still isn't herself. She took her nap yesterday on the couch in the living room with all of us around. She just didn't want to be alone. I just love her so much and it kills me to see her not feeling herself.
My parents were in town this past weekend and my father said...."You have done a wonderful job with Morgan." There really isn't any better compliment someone can give you about your children. Even though he is the Granddad and is biased....it is wonderful to hear. I know that I can't take the credit for such a wonderful little girl. She just has such an amazing heart...it makes it easy.
Anyways, I just thought I would post a few things about my little Morgan today. I am happy she is slowly feeling better and the sweet little happy Morgan is coming back and we can watch her next "phase" whatever it may be.
