I'm writing these letters to you because you and I are spending A LOT of time together lately!! I decided to stay home with you every day so I didn't have to see your crying face in the morning ever again. It broke my heart!! So, here we are, two ladies who love the junk out of each other, figuring out our daily groove. Let me tell you some things about you right now. You are 21 months old. You talk like a 3 year old, which means you are VERY VERY smart :) Some things that you love are your mommy and daddy, raisins, being outside, and Mickey Mouse. Our days usually start out with you getting up around 7:30am (oh yeah, you sleep 13 hours at night, that's so awesome!) and we go downstairs and eat breakfast. You love scrambles eggs, green smoothies, and my homemade protein waffles. Then we watch some of your favorite shows. Somewhere in between the morning hours, you cry your head off because Daddy goes to work. You LLLOOVVEE your Daddy and it makes you so sad to see him leave :(
Lately we have been going outside to play in the snow. We've gotten so much this week!!! You would stay outside all day if I let you, but I'm so mean and make you come in to take a nap. You nap from 1:00 to 2:30pm. Then we usually play toys or whatever. You are quite the sassy child these days. In fact, sometimes you drive me down right crazy!! You get some sick twisted joy out of hitting and kicking me, even though I make you go to timeout every time it happens. And you love to tell me "NO!!" I often ask myself if I'm doing it right, raising you. You'll have to let me know when you get older how I did ;)
As of lately, we have also had lots of cousin time. Zoey comes over a lot. You guys really love playing together, even though you fight a lot too. Mostly over toys. Jayden and Keslee come over twice a month too. You sometimes pretend Kes is your mommy. She really likes this :)
Today we had ALL of these cousins over! You are napping right now. We went outside and played in the snow, the had lunch and played with toys. You were pooped!
Baby, I hope you know (I hope I tell you enough) how much I love you. It may be hard to remember sometimes when I'm grumpy, or yelling (I'll try not to do that), but I do. I love you SOOO much! I want you to know how beautiful and smart and brave you are. You are part of a very select group of little girls. You have a Mommy AND a Daddy who love you and would do anything for you. You also have 16 cousins who love and adore you, 15 aunts and uncles who think you are the cutest thing ever, two Grandma's who would steal you from me if I wasn't looking, two Grandpa's who turn to putty in your hands, and you even have one two Great Grandma's who have stuck around on this earth longer than most, probably just to be able to spend some time with you. You are SOOOO LOVED!!
Well kiddo, this letter has got to end, because you have awoken from your nap and are demanding my snuggles, which I am happy to oblige ;)
Love you baby,
Mommy
