2 Year old with a clean streak??

So Bela and Daddy managed to get some sleep last night. So much in fact that at 9am we had to wake little Bela up otherwise she could have slept for much longer. She also slept for 3 hours for her nap today also so our plan is to keep her up a bit later so she will sleep through the whole night. Hopefully this trial and error won't cause a major issue tonight. One thing is for sure, Bela is NOT a morning baby, but then again, not sure any baby is. It's odd however how clean Bela is. She insists on wiping herself after going potty, insists on picking up her crayons and blocks after she is done playing with them; she remembers which drawers had which books and puts them in the right drawer and she even like to put our shoes away. Even more odd for a 2 year old is that any food she drops or purposely throws (with the evil smirk of course) she wants to get on the floor right after and pick it up or point it out to us to pick up. Normally we would be thrilled with this behavior but we're concerned that this could be some weird coping mechanism to being adopted??? Whatever it is, I hope some healthy form of that behavior lasts! Bela still has 2-year old fits of rage and tantrums but it's kind of nice to know she hasa clean streak!?!

Today was full of a lot of first's with Bela and mommy though! She let me hold her while I fed her breakfast - she definintely is getting used to American foods. Daddy had to be nearby while I was feeding her but that was definintely a first where she sat on my lap for a change! She also reached out and grabbed my finger to walk toward the door for a few seconds. Hopefully, these are all progress signs of her beginning to attach with me...only time will tell of course. I know daddy is looking very forward to when Bela wants mommy to sleep with instead :)
