New developmental stage: Canadian toddler

Despite her recent tendency to fly off the handle & vent like a volcano, after which she is as placid as a dollop of honey, my daughter really is fun to be with.

She is in the 2.5 year old phase of growing faster than she can adjust to, which means she is always misjudging and bumping her head into things. She is all eyes, and leads with her head sometimes. She rubbernecks, follows too closely, and likes to tuck her head under my chin. She's underfoot, so she's always apologizing when I trip over her: "Sorry, mommy!"

It's become an automatic response, so I think she really is a little Canadian. When she gets yoghurt on her cheek instead of her mouth, she says "Sorry, yoghurt!' When she brushes against the wall in a rush to get past, she says "Sorry, wall!"
