Astrid is very nearly two.

She can get into her own tshirts and dresses YES SHE CAN LET GO GO AWAY GO AWAY and almost into her own pants. She uses the potty or toilet instead of a nappy, best out of three or so. She knows a lot of her colours, I might get into things like teal and beige next.

She can climb up and down, well, anything, but especially ladders to bunkbeds next to high windows. She is an accurate and careful pourer and uses knives, forks, cups and spoons with considerable competence unless she wants someone else to feed her. She can use a scooter too. And almost the little trike, but her legs aren't long enough to get a good push on the pedals yet. She likes Lego and K'nex and disassembling Playmobil. She's extremely helpful and loves to go and fetch things ON MY OWN MY SELF for people. She enjoys hair- and tooth-brushing more in theory than in practice.

She loves to draw and paint and make things. She loves having stories read to her and looking at them herself. She loves her people; she has a wide circle of loving friends and she loves them all very much. She really loves her sisters.

I love the way you've written this. I can definitely hear a small-girl voice saying that to you :)

She sounds great :) Reminds me of my much younger cousin Dani, whose refrain at 4 was "I do *self*!" (And at 22, that's still her refrain, sigh...)
