You've grown again. 7 inches since you came home. Your grandmas say that you're taller each time they see you. Sometimes I think you're taller each time I see you.
You're finally pretty much potty trained. You're so pleased with yourself.

You love to read books and I think it's so sweet the way you relate to the characters. One of your favorites this week is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I realize that Eric Carle does his pictures as tissue paper collages and that's why his books are so fun, but it also makes some of his pictures hard for you to decipher. There's a piece of cherry pie in this book and no matter how many times I tell you that's what it is you still call it "pizza cake" (because that IS sort of what it looks like). You love to jump ahead to the part where the caterpillar eats to much and has a tummy ache. I think you're sad for him. You know what it's like to have "tummy hurts"
You also love to randomly blurt out, "Mama, where it live?" and then I'll ask you "Where does what live, Sweetness" and then you say whatever random animal you've been thinking about. Sometimes you forget that I can't hear your thoughts. Your animal choices are things like elephants, octopus, bear, shark, horses, whales, "penglins", and sometimes it's something like "trains". "Where trains live, mama?"
This last weekend you started your "Why" phase. It's been the longest few days of my life :) I repeat it back to you each time you say it and you get very mad and I say, "yeah, it is annoying isn't it?" Sometimes I tell you exactly why just to keep my cool. Like today you threw a ball and it accidentally hit Mama. I said, "Hey, you hit me!" and you said, "Why?" so I explained trajectory to you and you kept asking "why" until you used up all my physics knowledge.
At least it amuses me...
You love counting things, even though a lot of the numbers you use are made up. Eleventeen, and twentyteen are personal favorites.
The other night you went to the store with Daddy. When you came home, you came running down the hall and said, "Mama, I here!" and when you hugged me you said, "I came back for you."
You remember things with scary accuracy. And sometimes you pull something out that you heard somewhere and I'm pretty sure you DIDN'T know you used it correctly. Like the other day you asked if we could do something and I said, "We'll have to see" and you said, "That'll be the day". After I quit laughing I asked you where you heard that and you reminded me that one of the trains says that in one of your Thomas videos. It just happened to fit, but I don't think you know what it means.
I don't THINK you do...
I love, love, love being your Mama and I'm so proud of every little thing you do, Sweetness.
Mama

That's the face of a heartbreaker, I'm afraid. :)
