Back from the library. I'm not sure what I was expecting out of it, but chasing a 2 year old all over the library wasn't one of them. I think I thought it was gonna be like when I take her in a stroller. She's more contained that way and less rampant.

I'm frustrated because she's 2 years old and I've let myself become the parent that doesn't seem to have any control. She has it all! I'm very sad that I'm the one that's chasing the child that's running around and into everything. It kinda snuck up on me. I need to instill more discipline into her life, but not sure how to go about it. I know she's old enough for timeouts. Seems like she's hasn't done anything drastic enough for them though.

I'm still flustered by her lack of talking too. I let that bother me too much. I know she'll talk when she is ready, and I'm seeing about getting her some help for it. I think that is also part of why I let her get away with so much. I'm treating her like she's 1 and barely talking instead of like a fully capable 2 year old. Fully capable of getting everywhere that is.

I'm done ranting for now. I'm trying to perk up. I'm also frustrated that by chasing her everywhere I didn't get to visit with Jazzy-kins. I'll get to see her tomorrow, but I feel robbed of my opportunity today.
