First thing this morning, Clara wanted to write on paper with a pen (her very specific request). Just the past couple of days she has started trying to hold utensils (pens, markers, spoons, forks) correctly all on her own. Not once have I mentioned anything about how to hold a pen or a fork, but she is changing her grip! This has led to a bit of frustration and some messiness at mealtimes that we haven't had in awhile as she figures out how to maneuver her fingers and it obviously takes a lot of concentration!
More terrific things about my 2-year-old: Pleases and thank yous are becoming more and more habitual. She still demands things or whines a bit at times but really, probably 80% of the time she asks politely for what she wants. This is SUCH a blessing in my day!
