From Toddler to Little Kid

I'm moving solidly from "toddler" to "little kid."

I don't toddle and fall much anymore.
My amazingly round toddler belly has, just in the last few weeks, stretched into a little-boy torso much more like my big brother's.
I am acting like I am two...nothing provokes a tantrum faster than asking me what I want when I'm in a bad mood. I don't KNOW what I want! Stop ASKING me!!! The worst is when then more and more people come over to try asking me if I want this, or that, or offering me things -- I just want them all to LEAVE ME ALONE. I shake my head so hard that my whole body rocks, then I plunk onto my diapered butt, and then hurl myself forward onto my stomach so i can bang my head on the floor, or hide my face in my hands.

I really like doing things myself.

I don't like it when people try to dress me, or diaper me.

I love, love, love to jam my hand down my pants. What's the problem with that? It's comfy.
But then people get a little upset when it's dirty in there and my hands get all yucky. Still, I hate it when they dress me in the overalls and snap-onesies, restricts my access.

I have started copying Ivan's "Momm-aayyyy!" and "Dadd-aayyy!" intonation. But I also sometimes still half-squeak "Mommy!!!" and "Daddy!!" in excitement, clapping my hands and dancing and jumping with excitement to see them.

Oma is still "Mmmah!" but I also have been practicing a very exaggerated "OoooooOOoooh!"
Grampa is "MmmPAH!" I get very excited to go see him, too!

I love trying to walk in Daddy's shoes. I am pretty good at it.

We have a new trampoline. I love to jump on it. I really, really like to jump on it when I'm naked or wearing just a diaper. Then Mommy says "There's a nakey-bird jumping around in my living room!" and Ivan says "we took all his feathers off!"

I still have a lot of trouble sleeping because I snore and have trouble sleeping at night. Mom says I might have to get surgery for that; we're going to get it checked out. In the meantime, Ivan's started sleeping in another room, because he was having nightmares that I was a monster.
