I am writing this letter to you as the start of a tradition. I hope to be able to write you a letter every Mother's Day expressing my feelings about our relationship. As you get older, our relationship will change, but know this...I will always love you...no matter what.
You are doing so much right now. You are almost 21 months old and are a really good baby...most of the time. You make Daddy and Mommy laugh all the time because you do things that are totally unexpected. For example, when Daddy tells you not to do something and you raise your eyebrow (yes, just one) in response, it's like you're saying, "Dad, you can't be serious." You can't be saying that though because you're much too young!
- You love to yell "neigh" at the horses on our ride to Kindermusik.
- You are an awesome dancer and you're getting pretty good at lip syncing too. Look out Simon Co.well...I have the next American Idol!
- You absolutely love to read and to be read to.
- Your favorite book right now is "Treasured Tales." It's a compilation of fairy tales. You only look at the pictures right now and you're much too impatient to sit through one of the stories. You also carry it around like it's your most prized possession...right after your precious stroller.
- This stroller has caused a lot of strife between you and your brother, but that's okay. A girl's gotta protect her baby, right?
- When you play outside, you could sit in your Cozy Coupe all day long and beep the horn...it's really cute. You also love the slide and taught yourself how to climb up and go down the slide...as I was trying to stop your brother from running into our very busy street.
- You will not eat most veggies and are resistant to fruits as well. I wish you would try more, but you cover your entire face and resemble a teenager trying to avoid going to the mall with your parents...that's when I get a glimpse of what's to come! I have tried to grate carrots and zucchini into red sauce and you refuse it. I have mixed peas with mac and cheese and you pick the peas out like you're a Quality Control Worker! There may be no fooling you...gotta get back on my Deceptively Delic.ious bandwagon.
- When you cry, but the tears aren't coming fast enough to get any sympathy, you run your hands down your face...just to show us that's where they'll be in a few seconds.
- You love to sleep in your jammies with the tutu.
- You love your pink Phillies hat.
- You love your shoes and skirts too.
- You say "hi" and "bye" like a cowgirl from Texas...it comes out like "haaaaaiiii" with a cruise ship director's wave from the docks of Miami. It's hysterical!
- You absolutely love it when I give you lots and lots of kisses...you laugh like crazy.
Love, Mommy
