Goodnight Two

Goodnight two! 

You'll be three when you wake. Sometimes it's hard to believe all the joy you've brought to our lives. Before you were born, we had so many worries and fears. You've taught us to worry less, love more and celebrate the small stuff. You've grown so much this year...it's been so cool to see you hit milestones. In the past month, you've decided to start walking. Seeing you dance at Chuck-E-Cheese today made my heart so happy!

You followed right along and hardly missed a beat. You had fun and we had fun right along with you. 

You're saying new words and you have big opinions. There are days when you get frustrated with Mommy because you've voiced an opinion and didn't get the response you hoped for, so we're working together to try to help you understand.  

You love all things Elmo and Cookie Monster. You love your new big boy room (we end up sleeping there when you wake in the middle of the night and as soon...we're waiting on a few key safety tools before we make the move permanent). You adore your big sister and I so enjoy seeing the two of you make up games and play together. You're an amazing big brother already. I love to see you kiss my belly. You're doing so well in your new classroom at school. You've got the routine down and it's helping you succeed. I love seeing how excited your friends are to see you walking. They're so proud of you too! 

Your favorite foods are mac & cheese, pizza, blueberries and grapes. You love to read books and listen to music. You are counting to seven consistently and you sometimes make it to ten. You can say the alphabet, know your shapes and colors and can navigate the school computer like nobody's business. You can turn on the tv at home and know how to get Elmo videos on the computer. We have amazing adventures together. Be it the grocery store, library or just a drive in the car, you make it more fun! You've been waking at night since the hospital, usually around 5am. You fall back asleep if I come snuggle you, but you'll be up and awake for the whole day if I don't. 

We love you so much and we are so happy you're part of our family! Goodnight two...it's been a good year...we can't wait to see where three takes you. Love you Gugs!
