I've got a dream....

We've had a lot of fun this week. Last Saturday you hung out with Nan and Paps while mommy and daddy ran a 5k in Shrewsbury. For lunch, we went to the Amish Markets since they were having a BBQ competition. You had a great time trying out all of the different play-sets they had. You loved this one because of the house up there. You also loved to swing on the rings. We also got to spend Sunday with Nan and Pap's again since football was on.

You didn't take a nap and were a wreck that night.

 

A conversation between us:

O: We're friends.
Me: Who?
O: Me and you.
Me: We are best friends.
O: Yeah, we're best pals.

 

 

You got another Twiddle Star on Wednesday. You are so proud when you get one. We get to decorate it at home then send it back to school where they post it on the wall.

 

 

Thursday was a stormy day. We sat outside and waited for one to come along. We made it about 10 minutes. Once it rained you got upset by how loud it was on the metal awning. So we sat by the sliding door and watched the storm from there instead.

 Thursday was also the first night you tried to sleep in your big girl bed. You made it about 5 minutes and then asked to go in your crib. I think you just feel safer in your crib. There is too much that can happen in a bed with no bars. Last night you made it a little longer but kept getting out of bed and walking down the hall. We will keep trying!

 

 

Thursday night I got you the 'Tangled' (aka Rapunzel) soundtrack since you woke up Thursday morning and mommy asked "Did you have good dreams?" and your replied by singing "I've got a dream, I've got a dream." We've been listening to it in the van every morning.

 

This morning we had our first session of Fall Soccer Shots. Jordyn was there too! I think we may try to get you back in to the 2 group. The 3+ group is a little big and intimidating. You didn't want to do much at all which isn't what we want you to remember about soccer.

 

 

We are finally moving forward with moving to a new house! We packed our first box today. Hopefully everything will go smoothly as possible and is an easy transition for you.

 

You are my star,

mommy

Last month of being a 2-year-old begins...

To finish our busy Labor Day weekend we spent Sunday afternoon at the Kincaid's cookout. Mommy and daddy got to play volleyball. You got to run around the yard, play in the treehouse and watch the bigger kids play in the pool.

On Monday we went to Nan and Paps. Everyone went up to the park to play football. Mommy, Nan and Paps played on the playground with you. You went down the big, big slide. You loved playing on the seahorse- that was your favorite. Paps was being silly and falling off the rock climber. You thought it was hilarious.

You cried for the 1st time ever when I dropped you off at school on Wednesday. It made me feel horrible. It has been rough in the mornings lately. You just don't want to wake up, get ready or go to school. You say "Don't go to work." I know once I leave you have a great time. It makes me happy when you are excited to see me when I come to pick you up.

Yesterday we went to the castle park to play after we left the mall. You and daddy had fun riding the escalators, playing on the stage and looking at the movies. You also had a cookie and dippin dots.

 

 

I was absolutely amazed by the way you signed Uncle Kenny's birthday card last night. You are just so smart. Thankfully, you got my handwriting.... still need to work on the 'v' and learn how to write an 'a' but you are a quick learner.

You will get to see Nan and Paps a lot this weekend. That should make you happy. You love playing there. The weather is starting to feel more like fall- mommy's favorite season! So many things that are coming up- 1st up is your birthday! Cannot believe you'll be 3!

love you,
mommy

Busy Week Recap

 This week has been a super busy week! On Wednesday you were wearing mommy's heels and stated "I'm a rockstar!" Then we went shopping with Nan and Paps at Salvation Army. You love to play in the toy room. You and Paps dressed up like firefighters!

On Thursday we went to Dutch Wonderland since daddy got off work early. Guess what?? You were finally tall enough to ride the froggies! 36" woo woo! It is your new favorite ride too! You rode it 3 times in a row! You also got to give Duke and Princess Brooke hugs goodbye!

 Friday was a special, surprise day off for mommy! The AC didn't work in her school building so they canceled school :) We played princesses and went to Nan and Paps. The picture shows you and Alejandro. Friday night we went to the mall. You got to play in Tumbletown which you love. You went up in the tunnels but wouldn't go down the slide yet. We also ate at Subway and did a little shopping.

 Saturday morning we went to Jordyn's 3rd birthday party at the pool! We had pizza and cheese puffs. Cannot believe that you'll be having your own 3rd birthday party in less than a month.

 Saturday afternoon we went to Grandmom and Pop pop's camp. We played with Cousin Ben, ate tacos and went swimming again. You laid down in the pool which was fun to see you so comfortable in the water.

You woke up this morning with 100.5 fever. Hopefully we can have a restful morning and you can feel better as we are supposed to be going to another cookout this afternoon. You have started to say "I love you so so soooooo much." and it surely is the most wonderful feeling ever.

all my love,
mommy
