Use your words.

I don't know how many times I ask you to say that each day. But we're making progress. Slow progress, but I'll take any progress! Here are your latest words:

joe - "doe"
bob - (the barrier kids thought it would be funny too teach you a random name)
popcicle - "pop-o-oww"
green - "neeen"
slide - " syyyyde"
hide - "hyyyyde"
moon - "moooon"
tractor - "tatorrr" (said with a growl)

The weather has been in the 90's and your wardrobe consists of a diaper. You love going down the water slide into the kiddie pool. You also are a master of the hose. You are dangerous! No one can ever get it away from you without getting doused. 

We love you and can't wait to share your second birthday with you!

hugs & kisses,

"mommy"
