Well, my kid is obscessed with Elmo and Cookie Monster. She's hanging all over me, asking for me to google them so she can see pictures. At least it makes it easy for birthday party planning. :) Speaking of which, she'll be two in just over a month. *tear* She's growing up so FAST!
We went to Quincy yesterday just for a change of scenery. We went looking for living room furniture, since ours is old and crusty (the downfall of microfiber). I kept changing my mind, but then I saw it. A beautiful couch that had all the colors of my living room woven throughout. And, since we had a coupon for 20% off one item, we could afford it. Bryon also got a recliner for 50% off, so it was a good day. The downfall is that it cost some dough to deliver it here, but we figured it was still cheaper than borrowing a friend's truck. We also checked out Quincy's Bergner's because it has a bigger selection than Springfield's; Bryon picked up 8 shirts and a pair of shorts for $38- wow! He was also generous in letting me buy the trench coat at Old Navy I had been saving up for. :)
Avery is now hitting me, and when I say "No, we do not hit," she hits herself. Jen, help!!
Okay, enough for now. I need to get crackin' on an Admissions blog that is long overdue.

This kinda made me laugh! :) I am surprised we didn't just happen to run into you guys yesterday while we were in Quincy. But we only went to Lowe's, Kohl's, and then TGI Friday's so not much opportunity to do so I suppose.
As for the hitting...any idea where she picked it up at? Daycare perhaps? "Almost two" is a pretty tough age to explain things to. Most of what I can suggest is that you continue to tell her that she should not hit (even herself) and maybe use time-out as a direct result of hitting so she knows there are consequences. My 2 1/2 year old nephew is also in that stage and he doesn't seem to really grasp that hitting isn't okay. Whatever you do, make sure that Bryon (and whomever else would be watching her) is doing the same thing for consistancy. Beyond the time-out, make sure to not give attention for the behavior or that will just tell her that it will give her your attention and she will continue. She'll get it figured out.
