JESSICA'S PLAYYARD!

Jessi is a climber. She will use anything to help her get to where she is going. She is very different from Rick as she understands the word "no" to mean look at mom first, then proceed. And of course, everything is "Look at that!"

Oh, yes, this gate won't hold her in or out much longer. She has already discovered if you shake it hard enough it might fall apart.

Jessi is learning at a tremendous speed by following Ricky. She has already mastered the destruction of a lego house that took a week to build. If only Ricky had signed the demolition papers first, we would'nt have had such an explosion afterwards. Lets hope her skills of learning fast carry over into her school studies.

Now we have entered the much talked about "Terrible Twos"! So whats the big deal? She is the same onery, busy, hyper child that she has always been. She is just a little bigger and alot faster. Mom had to buy rollerblades so that hopefully she can keep up with the two kids. At least it gets their attention.... A note for all parents, DON'T PANIC! There is hope for an end to some of this madness...like the paper peelings from the crayons all over the floor, the permanent marker drawings on the walls, the whole roll of tissue paper in the toilet, etc. Its called, patience and give it another year....kiss all the owies and dry the tears and lets see what tomorrow brings!

I love my Hug-a-Bear!
