Dear G,
Today you
turn 2½, and since you’re a Christmastime baby, we’ll always make it a point
to celebrate your half birthday. We’re heading to the toy store to pick out
something special, and tonight we’re going to a mini prom with your school
friends!
You are
(literally) climbing on me at the moment, so I’ll make this quick. Here’s a
synopsis of you at 2½!
Favorite color: Pink (a testament to
your girly girl side)
Best friends: Simona, Maggie, Jaycie,
Tiz
Favorite teacher: Ms. Sergina
Early talent: Singing!
Favorite foods: Blueberries, mac &
cheese, scrambled eggs, pizza
Favorite drink: Milk
Favorite toy: Plush IKEA doll that
looks like Bill Clinton
Favorite shows: Dora and Mickey Mouse
Clubhouse
Favorite book: Once Upon a Potty
Cool things you do: Count to 20 (and to
10 in Spanish), recite the ABCs, recognize numbers and letters, sing “Jesus Christ
Superstar” (complete with hand motions)
Obsessed with: Water. You love taking baths, washing your
hands, going to swim lessons, sitting in your kiddie pool, playing with your
splash table, and filling up toys with water and carrying them to your play
kitchen (which we could do without)
Also love: Bubbles, your swing set, putting
your dolls down for naps throughout the house using dish towels as blankets
Random factoids: You’re a leftie, you’re
a picky eater, you often look serious in pictures even though you’re goofy, and
you’re a mama’s girl…yay!
You fit so seamlessly into our little family and make us SO happy—but
even more, you make us better. Happy 2½!
