Things We Do At Two

Things We Do At Two....
Run - or at least toddle fast - yelling go, go, go all the way!
Jump up and down (from the ground)
Jump up and down really, really high in our beds
Hold on as mommy and daddy push us on our tricycles
Match several letter blocks to letters on a mat
Feed ourselves with a spoon (although we still prefer our hands)
Drink from a straw
Drink from a cup if you hold it for us
Take a Time Out when we need it
Have a pretend conversation on the telephone
Sit and read - we love to read
Take an afternoon nap (Yeah for mommy!)
Wipe our bottoms (our own, each others, mommy's...)
Sit on the potty (although we don't actually go on the potty)
Wash our hands with wipes (we cry is we can't have a wipe)
Brush our teeth (or at least chew on the toothbrush)
Brush our own hair, each other's hair, mommy's hair, doll baby's hair
Give all animals a kiss (Bailey, animals at the zoo, animals in books, stuffed animals)
Undress (when we're not supposed to...especially after a nap)
Wear pull-ups
Stand to get dressed
Unzip zippers (on mommy's purse, our PJ's, our jackets, and anything else we shouldn't unzip)
Have complete conversations in twin speak
Sit in our rocking chairs to watch Baby Einstein
We also like to watch Thomas the Train on TV
Climb - on everything
Emma can climb out of her crib or her pack and play, open the door, and come downstairs to say hi
Close doors - all doors - all the time
Open doors with a pull down handle (like the door to the deck)
Open cupboard doors and take everything out
Walk up the stairs holding mommy's hand
Go down the stairs holding mommy's hand (but we still like to go down backwards)
Swim in the pool with mommy or daddy
Blow a kiss
Wave bye bye and say bye
Sing (Emma loves to sing)
Dance (Ella loves to dance)
Push our babies in strollers, feed our babies (and puppies) with a bottle, kiss our babies and throw them on the floor, hug our babies, put our babies to sleep, and brush our babies hair
We bring our puppies and babies to eat with us - we sit them on the table so they can watch
We sleep with our babies and puppies (Ella - puppy, Emma - baby)
Other games and toys we like- animal dominoes, tic tac tony, barnyard bingo, ABC peek-a-blocks, stacking rings - we can match the colored beads to the color sticks), stacking boxes (we can stack most of them by size), play food (we put the food on plates and pretend to eat it), play telephones, play-doh and cookie cutters, doodle pros, color wonder markers, play farm and animals
Drawing - we love to draw on our doodle pros - especially Emma. We like to watch mommy or daddy draw and guess what it is. Emma likes to draw daddy's face.
Finger paint. We even tried painting with pudding.
Animal sounds - we know most of them - and we recognized the animals at the zoo!
Itsy Bitsy Spider and Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes - we can do the actions
Follow directions (although we don't always want to follow directions)
Clean - we love to clean - especially Ella - everything and everybody!
Put our toys away in the right bins

Words We Can Say (Clearly):
Bye
Go, go, go
Car
Ball
Bubble
Dog
Mama (finally!)
Da (Daddy)
Down

We have lots more words - but mommy and daddy can't understand most of them (but we can)!
