Almost Two & the Snow Day

Amazing things are happening. Do you know you've grown an inch in 2 months?  I love your little sentences like, "more juice please; I see you, Mommy; I found it; I want it". But, undoubtedly, the one I love the most is, "I love you."
     
You are trying things that I believe to be past your age level. You can almost sing the whole alphabet song, but greater than that; you can recognize letters. You can say your numbers to twelve, but greater than that; you can count objects to 5 or 6. 
    
A few days ago, we had a big winter storm come through that dropped about a foot if snow. You have never seen it snow like that!  I think we sat together and watched it come down for 20 it 30 minutes. It was snowing for about 7 or so hours. You looked outside after your nap and saw that snow on the ground had doubled. When Daddy got home, we once again parked in front of a window to watch the snow shoveling. Your Daddy and brother made quick work of the clean up. I must say that Brandon did a bit more goofing off than work.


 So today, now Sunday, we ventured out into the wild white wonder.  You may have had a little trouble walking in snow that was almost as deep as you legs, but you did enjoy just sitting on the snow to take in the view.  We took a few memorable photos before you said you were, "Done."  They way you said done was just like you do when you are finished eating.  Your arms make the fly out to the side just like a baseball umpire says, "SAFE."  Only you say, "DONE!"


Some of the things I love about you:


--I love waking up next to your sweet face

--I love watching you explore and learn
--I love playing in your room with you and your "people".  (that is Little People)
--I love hearing you talk!
--One of my very favorite moments of every day is just before bed.  You sit on my lap while I read a book to you.  I can hug you and kiss your little head while you just relax against me.  Your hair smells so sweet.
