opposites

elenora has figured out what opposites are. didn't take her very long. we were in the bathroom and i was waiting for her to potty, so i decided to give a brief explanation about what opposites were and then i listed a few examples. then i said "the opposite of up is..." and she said "down." i couldn't believe she'd gotten it just like that! so i said "the opposite of good is..." and she said "naughty." and i said "the opposite of in is..." and she said "out."

now it's a fun little game for us to play.

she's been more "two" lately. which has been interesting to deal with. nothing that a 2-minute time out hasn't nipped in the bud. but it's definitely a lot more of ella asserting her own will and saying things like "no!" and "not right now!"
