Here you are at 2 years 4 months old! We took a 3 week road trip and you were AWESOME! Our little gypsy baby. A rock star waking up in a different city every morning. We brought your "cozy nest" along so that helped you feel comfortable.
New sayings and doings this month:
You constantly ask questions and create conversation (something strengthened on our road trip when you had to communicate with so many different people etc) You asked Aunt Shaye when you noticed her cut on her leg "aunty Yay Yay? You got a boo boo? You fall down? You were running? You tripped? You fall in a ditch?"
You say in the cutest voice "Wook it! You see that? You see that right there?" for everything you notice.
You do the funniest pig oink. We walked into Seattle's REI and you were sooo excited you started snorting. We asked you "are you being a fun hog right now?!"
You told Gwama Wama you wear a life jacket and you can swim all by yourself!
I talked with you on the phone when I was out running errands in Seattle and you said "Mama? Aunty Yay Yay coming home soon. You petting Moki?"
You recall stories and experiences from the day and tell us about it. You remember experiences from weeks/months ago. You remembered sooo many things from last summer at Granda Lama's house (and you were only 16 months old then!!!)
You got your first big boy hair cut by a very tattooed, pierced, dread locked and shaved gal at Rudy's barber shop in Seattle and you weren't phased at all. You look so much more grown up now!
At the Dragon Park on MI, you were about to go down the slide and said "Mama, what you doing?" and I said "I'm ready to catch my sweetie pie". So from then on, every time you went down the slide you'd say "Ready? Catch my sweetie pie?"
You still tell me "I can't like that" or "I can't want that" for anything you don't want to hear/do.
You sing constantly. You know all your ABC's, you love All about the Bass, you sing and do the motions for head shoulder knees and toes. And Boomdiada from Wee Sing. You love to sing eensie weensie spider in the shower.
You are very into trains and planes and balloons. When we landed in Kona you wanted to fly again! Please!?? Everyone laughed. I think we could take you on a long flight to Europe since you are sooo good on the plane!
You start preschool next week!! I can't believe it!
