If you read Dominic's blog entry for this date you'll see that we had a combined birthday party for you about a month ago. You won't be two until the 22nd but since your birthday's are so close together we decided to combine them. I was surprised that you wore your eye patch for most of the pirate themed party. Too cute! You FINALLY got your own pair of cowboy boots, like Dominic has. Grandpa Terry got them for you and let me tell you...you wear them almost EVERY day. Did I mention that it's the middle of summer?
There you are in all your glory! When you went to school the following Monday you held your foot in the air and said "boots!!!". Too stinking CUTE!!!
Your other new favorite thing is saying "Thank You". Whenever anyone does anything for you at all you have to say it. I get you dressed and you say "Thank you Mommy, thank you!". Daddy makes dinner "Thank you Daddy, thank you!". Dominic let's you play with a toy "Thank you brother, thank you!". I absolutely love it! Both you and Dominic have such great manners and I am so proud.
Another new favorite is Zebra Stripe gum. It used to be mine as a little kid so I had to grab it when I saw it at the store a few weeks ago. Although I put it high in the cupboard, you climbed up and got it. When I approached you, your mouth full of gum, I asked if you got it all by yourself. Of course you smiled, gum and all, and nodded your head. I put the rest of the package on top of the refrigerator. The next thing you know you had pushed your stool over to the fridge, climbed up and claimed your treasure. What a little stinker you are! Needless to say...the entire package is gone and I will not be buying more for quite some time, if I do I'll hide it in a better spot.
You will turn two in a few short weeks and I am not sure where the time has gone. You will always be my baby but you are beginning to look like a big boy.
Love you to pieces,
Mommy
