Sage at Age 2...

She loves to wear fancy dresses. She calls them ballerina dresses.

She is starting to using the potty. Mostly for "peeps" but also occasionally for "poops".

She loves to snuggle on the shoulder of those she loves.

She gives kisses (sometimes with a turned head). She also likes to put her hands on both sides of your face when she kisses you.

She LOVES her binky and has it during the day more than she should.

She likes to play on the iphone. Lately she always wants to play the "ballerina game" on it. We know that means she wants to watch the cartoon Sofia the First. One episode stays on our free app for two weeks and she will happily watch that episode over and over.

She also likes to watch "Dora and Boots" and the Bubble Guppies.

She can say just about anything she wants now.

She likes to practice saying the sounds of letters just like Sydney.

She LOVES to draw. She has colored on almost every surface in our house. We are trying to teach her only to draw on paper. Allie will say to her, "We only draw on..." and Sage will respond, "Paper." She has done better the past week so hopefully she is actually learning.

She sleeps in a twin bed and has for a couple of months.

She shares a room with Sydney. Sometimes they keep each other up playing until late in the night. Most of the time they fall asleep when they are supposed to.

She is picky about what she will eat. She likes berries, rarely finishes a whole cheesestick, and likes to feed herself yogurt. She rarely tries the main course at dinner. Oatmeal, pancakes and PBJ sandwiches are her friends.

She loves strawberry milk. At night she almost always asks for it when we put her to bed. We acknowledge that she wants it, leave, and never return.

She loves to play with baby dolls. She holds them and sings "Rock-a-bye Baby" to them. When a baby doll is not present she will turn any toy into her "baby". Cars, stuffed animals, etc.

She is very opinionated about what she does and doesn't want.

She loves her preschool teachers and runs to give them a hug when I drop her off.

She takes a long nap every day. Sometimes for 3 hours.

She wakes up very early - usually between 5:30 and 6:15. We are trying to teach her to stay in bed until her alarm light turns green at 6:15.

She loves to read books and is moving into longer books - we don't have to read only board books anymore and she and Sydney enjoy reading the same books!
