• doing the opposite of what we ask
• making messes
• skyping Cassie & Nina
• talking on the phone--real or pretend
• saying "For God" (John 3:16)...on her terms
• singing ABCs & Jesus Love Me
• singing in general
• having mommy draw rockin robins in the bath tub
• spiky hair (wet hair spiked in the tub)
• going to Bobo's house

Ivory has an *incredible* memory...which is very frightening, really.  She repeats what she hears spoken in word or action--yes, be very careful what you do & say around my extremely impressionable 2-year-old, please.

She is definitely the poster child for "The Terrible Twos."  But, we love her to pieces and do have glimmers of hope mixed in with the featured terror show. =)  Here's to hoping Micah learns from Ivory what NOT to do...
