Our cute little grown-up two year old!
24 ThInGs I wAnT tO rEmEmBeR aBoUt EmMiE at 24 MoNtHs:
1. This cute girl loves to sing. In the mornings I often hear her singing in her bed when she wakes up. She loves to sing the ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle & Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam. I hope you have your Dad's singing genes Em, and not mine so that you can continue this love in the future without offending anyone. :)
2. Your high-pitched giggle always brings a smile to my face.
3. That crazy swirl calic planted right in the front of your head continues to dominate but we think you're adorable regardless!
4. You still loooove to suck your right thumb!! I'm just glad it's attached and not something else that I have to worry about keeping track of.
5. Your purple blankie is the love of your life & we never leave home without it in fear of catastrophic outcomes. .
6. You LOVE to read stories and your favorites are the Critter books by Mercer Mayer. You love to find the mouse, grasshopper or spider hidden on each page.
7. You have recently turned into a chatter box and are saying lots of little sentences.
8. You are a total climber and much to my dismay you enjoy maneuvering chairs around the kitchen so that you can climb on the countertops.
9. Swinging outside on our swingset has been one of your top favorite activities this summer. You are even tricky enough to stand while you swing like your big brother.
10. Your H20 obsession...You are constantly finding ways to play with water and therefore I am constantly fishing you out of bathroom sinks...
11. You seem to have a poor little immune system thus far as you have been sick in your little lifetime probably 4 times that of your brother in his four years. We are hoping that you are just getting it out of your system early and have many healthy years ahead!
12. You have recently decided that you are potty training and you take the initiative to take off your diaper and go sit on the toilet all by yourself. Just for the record - we're not going there. Yet. As determined as you are, I am holding my ground on this one! Maybe after Christmas we can think about it...
13. You love to eat! Just not your fruit and vegetables. The only veggies you eat are corn on the cob and you love carrots and potatoes. The only fruit you'll have are peaches, mandarin oranges and apple sauce so P wins in the fruit and veggie eating department - but you win with eating everything else well! You often times steal food off his plate. He is a SLOW eater and you are lightning fast in the eating department. Some of your faves are homemade mac, chicken taquitos, tacos, chicken & rice, refried beans, eggs, waffles, peanut butter and honey, CHEESE, yogurt... the list goes on! & lets not forget that sweet tooth. You and your brother can't concentrate on anything else if there is unveiled sugar in the room...
14. You love Roxy. & you're nice to her. So she loves you back.
In fact, you love animals in general and give out a high pitched shriek of delight when you catch sight of them... especially dogs or cats.
15. You have a head start in anatomy as you can point out 19 different body parts with 100% accuracy .
16. You love Abby Cadabby! I don't know how in the world Sesame Street made it's way into our home, but a few months back it did and you've been hooked ever since! It is hands down your favorite show.
17. You love your baby dolls! You take such good care of them and are such a cute mommy!
18. You are a great sleeper! You will sleep from 7 p.m. to 7 or 8 a.m. THANK YOU!
19. You like to be held but at that same time you are very self sufficient.
20. You have had two haircuts thus far in your two years. We did our best to get rid of your mullet this summer.
21. You love your grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and go to them willingly.
22. You have given your brother some pretty colorful battle wounds with your hitting and scratching. We are working on finding better defense mechanisms for you & are still baffled at where this originated from.
Despite your occasional lashing out however, you adore your brother! You follow after him and want to be doing what he is doing.
23. You are so cute when a prayer is being said. You are good to bow your head and fold your arms and say "Amen". I have caught you many times sitting up to the table all by yourself mumbling your own little impromtu prayer to "Heeey Faaar"...
24. You are such a sweet and loving little girl! I love to rock you at night and look into your big bright eyes and have little conversations about our day.
We are tremendously blessed by the joy you have brought into our lives, Emmie!
We love you!!!
