Today you turn 2 years old. Were have I been that I missed so much. It feels like yesterday you were squirming in my belly. And now you only squirm to get OFF the belly. I love to see all the things that you are doing. We put a new handle on the bathroom door so that you would be able to get in and out by yourself.( rethinking that now) You have been eager to learn that you can move around the stool on your own and get up to turn on and off the light and to get on the turlet by yourself. You have learned so much in the past week.

Right now you are sitting on the couch putting on your sock… “cock, cock, mommie” Just last moth you new what a sock was. But we didn’t know that you would ever learn the word. We went to a bicycle shop yesterday and you looked up at the desk and signed Popcorn please. When did you get so smart that you know they always have popcorn there. The lady was amazed and gave it to you and said. “ you taught him to sign?” You looked up shook your head YES, and than said while signing “THANK YOU!” than you said for her. “KELCOME!” I was brought to my knees to hear you speak.

It isn’t that you don’t speak…. it is that you will only do it on YOUR TERMS. Don’t get me wrong I love that about you. But SHESH more words could help the mommie out on figuring out what you want. Right now .. EVERYTHING Is a PEECAKE….. (Pancake) It doesn’t matter how much we tell you …. toast … Tooooooooooooooast…. TOOOOOOAST…. G it is still a Peecake. I have to tell you though. That doesn’t sound too good.

You are finding out what money is all about … and you have figured out that you only have to give something up at the grocery store for a short time before the girls will give it back. Now you throw it at them and wait. Than you take it and nudge me….. come on mom pay the lady so that I can eat this. NOW! You also know that when we get in the grocery store the girls will fall over themselves to get a cookie to you. It is your dream to eat nothing but cookies all day. Those ladies make it happen when we are there too, and if I say no. they sneak it to you behind my back. Resistance is futile.

I want you to know that even though I wasn’t sure about doing this all over again. I wouldn’t have missed this trip for the world. You are an amazing child and I am lucky that you chose ME to be your mommie. No matter how many times I threaten to send you back. G

Love you,

Mommie
