Thinking outside the...fort?

Our ever so clever and curious little two year old has been up to "NO" good. Something happened to our sweet little princess about a month ago.. she started saying "NO" and "MINE" every chance she got. I guess it's "terrible two's" or " self expression" or "affecting her environment" or "testing her mama" etc. but to me it is a challenge and a sign of my little baby growing in to a little "GIRL" as she says. When I ask her,"Lula are you a baby?" She responds "No, Mama I'm a Giiiiirrrrlll!" and that is sad and joyful all at once. She is singing her favorite songs, which are You are my sunshine, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle, The Number 4 song, The alphabet and a new one is Home on the Range. She loves music. Listening to it, making it and dancing to it.
Today while we were playing Lula asked me to build her a fort, which we do all the time but today was different. Instead of playing in the fort she decided to play on it. She is her mama in that she loves a cozy comfortable spot and can pretty much find them anywhere. So like a little wood nymph she made herself a little hammock nest and snuggled with Lovie. She is her Daddy in the way that she thought outside the "fort". :) She is the reason we are thankful this season.
Here are some pictures from her little adventure.
