What a difference 24 months makes, eh? Here are my top ten favorite things about little miss two!

10) Love that you usually want “popcorn” or “popsicles” for breakfast.
9) Love that you find swimming the purest form of happiness on earth. Nothing evokes the same high pitched squeal as, “Wanna go swimming?”.
8) Love that you are the kind of girl who ADORES bugs. Lizards, snakes, beetles, ants…your standard response to any of them is…”Awwwww, he’s so cute. I wanna hold him, Mama.”
7)Love the times when you realize you have overstepped the bounds and put YOURSELF in time out with a stern “You go sit in time out. We do NOT do that.”.
6)Love that you are the best sleeper in the world. You always have been and I am so grateful for this. I pray that you will teach your sister this habit!
5)Gotta love the fake whine when you think it will further your cause…even though it doesn’t.
4)Love that you recognize instruments such as the trombone, flute, and violin in music and that the other day driving you told me, “Mama, that’s a trumpet. It my favorite instrument”. Of course, I felt like a complete retard because it wasn’t until you pointed it out that I realized it WAS a trumpet playing during the song. I think I owe Little Einsteins props on this one…And since this number 4 is really about bragging, can I also say I love that you know your ABCs and numbers 1-20!
3) Love that everyday you line up all your plastic animals in a meticulous well-formed row and count them. Then, every night before bed you “clean up them”. Love how you pronounce certain animal names like “croc-kee-die-dile” for crocodile.
2) Love your blond curls and the way the stick out every which way in the morning. Love when you wake up and want to snuggle with me.
1) Love it when you say, “I wuv you, Mama. Very much.”

Really, we need to invent a better word than love to describe how I feel when I look at your little face. Love barely covers it, kiddo.
