Lilah Grace, Two Years Old

I love it when she goes to the fridge to get a snack she always, always brings one for Vivianne.

I love it when she says, “I love you too!” And the “too” is just an octave higher than the rest of the words.

I love it when she sits down to do something, whether it be a puzzle or to color, that she does it with such conviction.

I love it when I catch her reading “her” books and she doesn’t know I’m watching her.

I love that she calls Thomas the “monster”.

I love that she eats almost anything, especially things that are good for her.

I love that she idolizes Vivianne and wants to be just like her.

I love it when she says, “Oopsy daisy” when she trips or falls.

I love that she has a determination about her like no other…but it also irritates the crap out of me sometimes ;-)

I love that she is such a big helper.

I love that she likes to hug, kiss and snuggle.

I love that she is funny and likes to laugh.

I love that she is tough and likes to play rough and get into mischief (the good kind) sometimes.

I love that she is confident in almost everything she does.

I love that she loves to be with people of all ages.

I love that she wants me all to herself when she’s tired…well, I love that most of the time;-)

I love that she goes potty all by herself.

I love that she gets dressed all by herself.

I love that she wants to do pretty much everything all by herself.

I love her. Period.
