January 7, 2010


Well, we've made it to the year 2010! I know that you probably won't see what a huge accomplishment this is, but I feel so blessed to have made it here with you. We spent New Year's Eve at Meme and Papa's house, partying all night long! You had a blast hanging out with your sister and staying up late! I think you ate a million pieces of the Chex Muddy Buddy mix that you helped me make. I assume all that chocolate and powdered sugar was to blame for your inability to fall asleep even as the clock struck 2 a.m.
Since New Year's, things have sort of gone back to normal. I have gone back to work with my big kids...you ask every morning if you can come with me. It breaks my heart to have to leave you, but I know that your day will be filled with adventures with your Daddy!

Today after school, I came home to find all three of you (Daddy, Sarah, and you) having a huge pillow fight in the family room. The intensity that you all hit each other with made me nervous, and I had to walk away! I cannot believe how fast you are growing and how strong that little body of yours is. You still have the most infectious laugh and smile, and although you do whine sometimes, it's that smile that I see most often.

We are now completely done with diapers- you have a few accidents at night, but for the most part, we are a diaper free family! I am so proud of how big you are getting! You love to do learning activities with me - today we spent an hour saying our ABC's and the sounds that go with each letter. Although you can't articulate all of the sounds within your speech, you can identify the letters and the corresponding sounds. I love the way that you sound out words..."ssss" "hay ya" is how you sound out Sarah. I know that your little mind is working hard, and I am confident that you will get it in your own time. Until then, I am enjoying every minute of the indescribable pleasure you bring to my life.
