Toddlers

Well, it's official.  Silas has entered the terrible twos.  Toddlers can be spirited.  Stubborn.  Determined.  Impulsive.  Emotional.  And Silas is all of the above.  We had family pictures done, taken by the wonderful Rebecca of Dragonfly Photography, and I admit that I'm slightly terrified that all of Silas' pictures will look like this-

Okay...not really.  But only because I know Rebecca has a gift of getting just the right shot.  And I suppose, this shot really does show the intense emotions that Silas has, right?

Anyhow, toddlers can be emotional.  But it is one of my favourite ages.  They are also so curious.

Loving.

So, so funny.  (He kept climbing up on a bump in the snow saying "Ta Da!!", so proud of himself.  Hilarious!)

And so full of life.

Yes, toddlers can be trying.  But they are also wonderful.  And I definitely think the unconditional love and the sloppy kisses outweigh everything else.
