In TWO days I will be TWO
I can hardly wait. . . I LOVE birthdays and mine is coming soon. I have been singing "Happy Happy to meeeeee" for weeks now. Mama is trying to help me make "two" with my fingers, but I have a hard time holding the other fingers down.
Mama says I will be a BIG girl when I am two and not a baby anymore. For the most part I am happy to be a big girl, but I think there may be some challenges to growing up. For instance, they keep talking about saying "bye bye" to Bobo!! Bobo?! Really guys?! But I do notice that most kids my age don't have pacifiers anymore. Only babies do. And boy- do I LOVE babies. I have a couple of new ones I got for Christmas and Mama is right, it's a lot of work being a mommy. I have to change them, feed them, and hold their bobos in place. I also take them for walks with my new doll stroller.
Christmas was lots of fun. My favorite gifts were the stroller, hello kitty bandaids and big girl underwear. I think that is going require some growing up to- no more diapers?! I love to go potty at my friends' houses. Yesterday, during a birthday party, I snuck off the Porter's potty, pulled down my pants and went pee pee. Mama found me and laughed. But my own potty is not as exciting to me yet.
I got to play with my ALL my cousins over the holidays and it was so much fun. I learned the magic word "mine." It makes me feel so powerful. Mama says that the magic word is "please." But I think that is kind of boring. I also had a blast looking at LOTS of christmas lights, making a gingerbread house, and opening presents!!
I continue to take on the world full force. I don't have any separation anxiety anymore. Except for church. For some reason, I HATE playing with the kids in the nursery. So I get to stay with Mom and Dad in the sanctuary.
I have also learned to cuddle more. I love snuggling up and reading books with mom and dad with the blankets piled high.
I also feel like I understand concepts more and more. I am learning about "sorry" and how to wait for something. The other day, Mama stopped suddenly in the car and said "Sorry Nori" and I said, "Sorry groceries" to all the bags that were rolling around in the back. Mama couldn't stop laughing. In fact,almost everyday I see her laughing at me.
She can't talk about me in front of me anymore because I totally get what's going on. They started spelling a lot, but they forget- I'm two!! My brain has so many more synapses than theirs combined- I will have them figured out in no time.
Speaking of brains, they are trying to teach me colors, numbers and letters, but I am not so interested. I figure I have the rest of my life to do that boring stuff. I am saving all my energy for PLAYING which I love to do. I like cooking with Mama in the kitchen(wearing my apron), climbing, rearranging, pretending, and most recently coloring!! Mama said that her Christmas cookies were a little crunchy this year because of all the egg shells I put in.
I don't discriminate with toys- I like them all. Trucks (especially dump trucks), doll babies, trains, and my new kitchen set.I also rode on a real Choo Choo train over Christmas! Wow! I loved it.
I like eating more over the past month. Especially because Mama and Daddy are eating with me usually. My favorite part is saying AMEN! and holding hands.
Before I go, I have to tell you about the most MAGICAL discovery I have made in the past month- television! Daddy lets me watch Elmo on Youtube in the morning when he does my hair. Mama is usually out jogging and as soon as she comes home we put it away so she'll never know. Daddy calls it the "Elmo Spa" because I get to wear my robe and get my hair and nails done.
Well, gotta go. Bye bye to the baby days and hello to being a 2 year old!!
