Sara is almost two....

...and I want to capture her world, the beautiful smile and captivating way she enjoys the simple things in life: the park, the backyard, the car, the lipstick she slipped out of my purse.

Sara's a pretty typical 2 year old. She amazes us with the things she knows, makes us laugh hysterically, and can also make us completely crazy! :) Physically she's in constant motion- running, climbing, walking up and down the stairs, tiptoe-ing around, dancing, playing modified versions of just about every sport. She loves to explore and play with us. She's also gotten much better at independent play, which is fantastic! Usually this independent time is spent cooking in her kitchen "cooking allu sabzi" as she says, or "driving her train," or reading and chatting with her baby dolls.

She gives the biggest hugs, the cheesiest smiles, and throws the loudest, most spectacular tantrums! :p She does get easily upset and impatient...and totally annoyed when she doesn't get her way. She's my sweet little girl...but can flip in an INSTANT and become the crazed toddler exerting herself with the forceful use of "NO!" accompanied by jumping, crying, kicking, or pushing...which is then accompanied by time outs and disciplinary chats...which is followed by hugging, apologizing.

Her hindi language is remarkable! She speaks in phrases and in sentences- which is pretty awesome for her age. Many strangers we meet tell us the same thing after they ask how old she is.:)
