ICE

This is officially the first correct word you say. You say it with such care. Making sure to give each letter a sound, so slowly. IYYYCCCCCE. Sometimes you whisper it to me, because you know if you talk in your inside voice as opposed to yelling, you get what you want. And you always want Ice. If I want you to do anything, I just bribe you with ice. :) I guess it's the small things in life that make us happy.

The small things like you saying "Ice."

I have never worked on colors and shapes with you. We did today. You knew red right off the bat, and circle and star without me helping. It's crazy how much you pick up on without me knowing. I've got to work more with you I guess!

Daddy seems to think it's time to potty train you. I was on my way to do hair when I got a call from you and Daddy telling me you poo'd in the toilet! Since then, you've gone a few more times. It's pretty funny to see Daddy's techniques he taught you! As soon as you sit down, you press on your tummy to help "push" things out! You also go number one quite frequently. I guess I'm just not ready for you to grow up. :( I'd rather keep you as my baby forever.

I thought I was just going to talk about Ice, sorry to include all this toilet talk. Someday you'll potty train your kids, and maybe your Dad's "tips" will help you with your kiddos! :)

*and one more thing, I'm not sure I ever mentioned. This happened when you were 15 months or so.
We were saying our nightly prayers together in your room. Your arms were folded, and eyes tightly closed. I prayed that you would grow healthy and strong, after which you released your reverent arms, raised them in the air and flexed your muscles for me!

More recently, you have been going to bed with your glow worm we call "baby". You make sure to fold his arms during prayer time as well. What a wonderful example you are to your little baby.

OH. and it's your 21 month birthday today. :) Happy Birthday!

I love you, Groobs!

hugs & kisses,
"mommy"
