toddler's talk 1 I have twins of 2-year-old. They are recently in so-called "terrible-twos". Especially my daughter. She cried out loud twice yesterday because of stubborn ideas and wanted do something all by herself. In the morning, when we got her dressed, she wanted to dress all by herself. And she kept crying and yelling, "Dress by myself! Dress by myself!" repeatedly. (『自己穿！自己穿！』in Chinese, I want to know the correct way to express this meaning in a two-year-old kid tones. PLEASE correct me in simple and short form of common native speaker kid's use. THANKS!) Again, in the same evening, she cried with lots of tears just because we turned off the light for bedtime. We had to turn on the light immediately. Little did we think, she yelled, "On by myself! On by myself!" (『自己开！自己开！』in Chinese, again, any proper word as a two-year-old tone?) We had no choice but to turn on the light again and let her off by herself. My wife and I love our kids deeply, and just hope the tantrums will be gone soon.

stand up straight and/or tall? Please tell me what's the difference between "stand up tall" and "stand up straight"? There's a Sesame Street song named "I Stand Up Straight and Tall", which means there's some difference in position, right?
