The Life of a 2 Year Old

Dear Teagan:
You are a big 2 year old now!! Your birthday party was fun. You were sick with a stupid virus the Friday before your birthday (Sunday)so by Sunday you still weren't 100% yourself, but you were better. We had an Elmo themed party. Your friends from daycare couldn't make it but Wyette & Willow came and so did Izzy. Kaylee & Paige were also sick, so they couldn't make it either. You got a ton of trucks and cars and all sorts of other fun things! You thought it was your birthday the entire week after too. You had your party on Sunday, then Monday you got presents from Haylee & Hannah at Jenn's, then Tuesday you got a present from Brylee at Jenn's then Wednesday more presents came from Owen in the mail. Then Thursday I took some of your birthday money and bought you the train track for your new train. I think that was it after that. You asked for a present every day though. It was funny.

Gymnastics is over now. You still ask to go, especially now that Brylee goes and talks about it.

You're starting to get very independent. You have to have and do things a certain way. It's fun, except when we're in a hurry. Your sentences are getting longer now and some of the stuff that comes out of your mouth is just hysterical!

You love your new big boy bed. It really helped that everyone that came to your party made such a big deal over it that now you really love it. At first I was having to lay in it with you until you fell asleep and boy was that uncomfortable! We tried sleeping in undies a few nights in a row, but everytime you peed the bed! So I went back to putting diapers on you and you don't pee in those in your bed! i
It's so weird!!

You now are allowed to sit forward facing in the car. Oh boy do you love that! You have an Elmo movie that teaches you shapes so you're really good with those. Now when we see a stop sign you yell out "Red ocgon!" which means octagon. Or a yield sign you say "yellow triangle!" you also know what each color of the lights mean so you're sure to tell me when to stop, go or slow down.

You are still a mamas boy through and through and I love every minute of it. You're so sweet and cuddly to me.
Just yesterday we were laying down to nap together and I was falling asleep before you and you kept leaning over and giving me kisses. It was the sweetest thing!

I love you to the moon and back baby.
Love,
Mommy
