Dear Madelyn
Today you turn two years old. We are celebrating your birthday tomorrow by having a bunch of friends and our family over. The theme is teddy bears (because you love your teddy bears!)and you will have a teddy bear cake. I think your sister is more excited about your party than you are!
At 2....
-You are much more laid back than your sister is
-You are starting to throw tantrums! Yikes
-You are speaking in full sentences
-You pronounce your "f's" like "p's". You say stuff like " Would you make some chawky milk per me? and " This is my pish(fish)"
-You like to play by yourself and would rather not be messed with by anyone. You are super content playing with small toys and lining them up and counting them.
-You can count to twelve
-You like to ask me to write your name by saying " Would you write my name A-E-O-L-Y-N?"
-You like to watch "Dora", "Diego", "Max and Ruby", "Strawberry Shortcake", "Caillou" and "Little Einsteins".
-You love to tell us " I do it myself" and don't ever want help. With anything!!
-You just started sleeping in a toddler bed and you enjoy keeping mama going up and down the stairs telling you to stay in your bed.
-You love your big sister
-You love to sing! You've started to sing " Give Me Oil In My Lamp", "Jesus Loves The Little Children", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and various ditties from your favorite shows. You love trying to sing along with our favorite Sunday school songs CD.
-We are not starting to potty train for another few weeks although you do enjoy sitting on the potty.
-You love to swim in nana and papa's pool!
-You are tall for your age. We'll find out your stats at next week's 2 year check up.
-You've started to love dressing up just like your sister does.
-You love your baby dolls! You walk around and ask us if we want to hold your baby and that it's crying. You call her "Apple Dumpling" after Strawberry Shortcake's little sister. You say " This is my sister baby Apple Dumpin"
-You are a super picky eater. Just like your daddy and sister!!
We love you so much and are so proud of you. You are a beautiful, wonderful gift and blessing to us from God. Happy 2nd Birthday Madelyn Reese!
