To her first birthday:
To her second birthday:
How has she become the kid who breaks out into song when she's in a good mood? And how did she learn all of those songs in the first place (thank you day care!)?
How did she become the lovable little girl who talks about the friends and family she hasn't seen in weeks? And the friendly girl who says hi! to every single person she passes (We are going to have to work on stranger danger in the future. Also, for crying out loud, what kind of person doesn't say hi back to that face??)
How did she become the smart girl who knows that she can delay bedtime just a few more minutes by asking for one more book or, as a very last resort, for a cuddle?
Her sense of humor (FUNNY!), her ability to sense when others are sad or hurt (you okay Mommy?), and her stubbornness (no brush teeth!!!) are also some of my favorite things about her.
I know everyone says it goes by so fast, but with each passing day she learns something new and I am just absolutely amazed at the person she is becoming and I love each day wondering what that new thing will be.
