Two and Half

I LOVE you but two and a half is a little annoying. You are at the repeating stage. You are repeating things about a hundred times in a row, it doesn't matter what my response is, you continue to repeat whatever it is you want. It is always things you want. "I want to go on a walk", "I want this, I want that" I can say "no", or "not now" or "yes" it does not matter, you repeat and repeat! I know this is a stage and either you repeat as a learning/practicing tool for your own language development or maybe you know that if you ask enough times in a row you will wear me down and I will give in just to stop the insanity!

You are at a new school and doing very well. I like the people and you seem to be getting along very very well. Every day when I pick you up you tell me how much you like it. You tell me you like your teachers and playing on the playground and you are excited about the crafts you bring home. It make me feel good about the care and learning you are getting. I just wish that you could remember how much you like it each morning when I drop you off. It has been three weeks now and every day you cry when I leave but are so excited and happy about the day when I pick you up!

I love you and love watching you grow!

Love your
Mama

July 2011

Well, so much to tell.

You have started at a new school. You are doing very well there, you still cry when I drop you off which breaks my heart, but I feel very good about the attention and care you get there! When i pick you up you are very excited to show me the craft you did or tell me about something else that happened that day.

Things you love right now:
1. Tigger-That is a constant favorite!
2. Match-box cars - You gather all your cars up and put them in a box or bag and carry them around, take them out and play with them, then up them back in the box or bag and carry them around some more!
3. Flashlights- This is an on and off again obsession.
4. My silver bracket. It has different colored stones on it and you like to wrap it around you leg and name off the colors.
5. We found a small green light-saber like Star Wars. You like to pretend fight with it.
6. We found a small green ball with blue bumps on it and a grey Rocket. That for whatever reason you are very attached to.
7. Indra has a old broken purple leash that you drag around. When we go on walks I hold one dog leash and you hold your purple one...both are attached to the dog.
8. You love Indra. You always care where she is and tell me where you think she should be. "I want Indra inside" I want to take a walk with Indra" Indra has to come on our walks with us or you pitch a fit!
9. Your favorite food lately has been Kellogg's fruit crisps. Its a thin,, crunchy pop tart like fruit filled bar with a light sprinkling of icing on top. you will eat two packages of them for breakfast!

You are talking so well and say very funny and interesting things. You are smart and cleaver and I love hearing what is going through your head!
Yesterday when we left to go to school you said "Jesus, thank you for a car that starts" (it is something you have heard me say many times, but I love that you remembered it.)

We talk to Jesus every day and I hope that you are soaking in that He is very important to us and that your heart is growing in a desire to know him more! I am trying to show you what he means to me and praying that he will call you to believe in Him for yourself one day!

Love
Mama
