In just over a week you will be a whopping two years old.
I am not really sure where the past year went. It seems like just yesterday you were hiding your face behind your 1st birthday cards and crying in your cake.
But here you are: 2!
You know every animal there is to know....except a seal...you just dont get it...so you call it a puppy. But, I laugh when you point to the animals in your book and say KOALA and HIPPO! You make me smile with your smartness!
Molli has turned into your favorite friend. Sometimes the two of you together drive me crazy...but I forget all that when you say..."Awww Molli, you my best friend!"
You can sing your ABC's and count to 10...but you often forget 5. You can ROW, Row, Row, ya boat, and sing Old MacDonald. You are just plain brilliant in your dad and my eyes.
Your smile is the brightest sun. Your laugh is a perfect pick-me-up!
You love to run outside and go for wagon rides. If I open the front door, you are right behind me. You have mastered opening it yourself, so we have to keep a watchful eye on you, so you dont escape. You love play-dough and blocks.
You like to "shhhh...hide" and tell people to "listen ( as you hold your hands to your ears)
My greatest challenge and JOY is YOU!
Being at home with you full-time has been a balance I still sometimes try to find, but when you wrap your arms around me and say "I YUV YOU mommy", you remind me that I am doing pretty ok.
You have good manners, saying "sorry, thank you, please" and sometimes you forget them and throw yourself on the ground....especially when it is time to come inside, but not in your mind.
You like books, especially Brown Bear..Brown Bear!
You love to take naps and watch Dora and Diego and pirates...but not "The WITCSHHHH"
You are a daredevil that loves to climb on top of everything and dive off... and any step up becomes a stage for you.
You love to twirl and sing! You get that honestly.
You are pure energy and pure love.
You light up the whole world around you, my silly sweet wonderful birthday girl!
I Love you more everyday!
happy 2nd birthday, my Joy!
Mommy
