Time is still flying.




A month from today, you'll be 3 years old. how did that happen??

You're expressing yourself more and more lately, in words, in drawings, in song, in play, etc. It's been a lot of fun to watch.

You like to draw little faces, with mouths and eyes and eybrows, and lots of arms and legs. yesterday you wanted me to teach you how to draw glasses, and you
surprised me by how quickly you caught on. I showed you how to do it once, and you copied me easily. You can also make shapes and pictures with little bits of the chains i use to make my necklaces. you call these cast-off bits "wormies," and one day we noticed you were shaping them into eyes and eyebrows and mouths that look JUST like the faces you draw.




You love disney movies. Even Sleeping Beauty, which i didn't expect you to like that much, because it's a little bit slow. You're going to be Snow White for halloween, and I've been busy making your costume...

I love seeing you grow up, though it is a little bit sad to realize that you are quickly leaving your baby phase behind and becoming a little girl.
I love you, little girl!
love, mom

if we don't see you for a few minutes...





usually something like this is going on.

some of your favorite destructive things to do:

get the toothpaste and all the toothbrushes out, and eat toothpaste. i'm pretty sure it escalates from actually brushing your teeth to just sucking the toothpaste out of the container. in times past, you have also snuck off with my deodorant and applied it to your body, then nibbled on it a little bit. finding toothmarks in my deodorant is a little unnerving.

draw all over yourself and/or everything else. see pics.

your favorite place to do these things is up in sam's bed, for some reason. i guess maybe because it's also a place you're not really supposed to be. that's where you went to cut your hair a while back...

i think we need to buy you a cowbell.

love, mom
