As I suspected, I love this time in my daughter's life. I have made a conscious effort to enjoy all of her stages, and I think I have, but really, a new toddler is fabulous. She is really enjoying life, and likes to wander around the house with garbage cans, and canned foods, and she gets so excited to see me, and pats her dolly, and is generally adorable all day long. She is so excited when we start to read any of her five favorite books, or play her favorite video on the computer, or play any sort of music. She gives sweet hugs, and disgusting kisses, and I just can't get enough of her. We laugh often, and life is good.
