The looks of Clair

I love the way my kids communicate with their eyes. At 2 years old Clair's ability to communicate in every sense is becoming well developed. 

Clair is determine. Clair wants what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants - which is usually doing it herself. 

At times when Clair is driving for something and is told to stop, she often keeps going and tries to complete the task quicker and more vigorously to get her goal accomplished. When I manage to stop her I'm often met with one of two responses:

1) a quizzical and demanding WHY

2) a death stare that is better then that of a developed grumpy teen.  As captured in the picture below when we made her sit down in her seat and wait. 

I've been dwelling on this evolution this weekend and realizing how ebtertained I am by her behaviors. She's adorable. I love her determination - except sometimes in the heat of the moment when I'm right and she's wrong. Ha ha. She amazes me. Her determination and belief that she knows best at two is quite well developed. I'm a little nervous and a lot excited to see where it takes her in her life. 

Two is very fun and challenging.
