2 1/2 years old

You're 2 1/2 years old today! Right now...

• you love mango!
• we are so proud that you can sing the whole ABC song, enunciating each letter! This is probably because you request that we sing it all the time.
• when we were in Santa Fe, one of the street singers sang the ABC's to you. You loved it!
• going to the church nursery one day a week is a highlight of your week!
• your favorite bedtime snack is either graham crackers with peanut butter or rye crackers with cream cheese and Promite
• we can hear both an Australian and an American accent in your speech
• if it comes from our garden, you'll eat it. You love picking tomatoes off of the vines.
• you love to play Hide & Seek. You count "1...2...8,9,10!" We have to hide quickly! You're not too interested in hiding yet.
• you can accurately name most of your body parts, including random ones like elbow. 
• you're doing great with potty training, as long as you aren't wearing anything on your bottom half! 
• you enjoy doing crafts at story time in the library. You like cutting with your scissors and using a glue stick.
• you have started praying by yourself at night (but usually repeating after us) and even at mealtimes!
• random things make you enthusiastic- "Asher, the table is brown." Asher says, "Oooo! Brown!"
• you haven't yet figured out that your ice cream is really frozen yogurt
• when you have a potty success, and you remember to ask for a mini M&M, you also want one for every one else in the house. You give one to each person and very rarely eat them yourself!
• you tell jokes, but they only make sense to you!
• so far, the terrible twos haven't been that terrible, thankfully. 
• we are definitely blessed!
