Turning 2

I will continue on the journey of telling you how I got to this point in my life. But for now since a special birthday is approaching us I wanted to wanted to write about a little girl who will be turning 2 on March 1st. This little character makes me smile and laugh every day. The way she walks with big strides with her arms swinging back and forth carrying her blankie, and her face says it all with the look of determination. With her chubby cheeks and long hair that always needs to be combed back away from her big brown eyes. With her beautiful smile that I notice the whole day, until she says "Mine". With her funny little lines that she says that make me chuckle. Like the other day when I yawned she said "Are you tired mommy?". We have had special times alone together since Lily is gone in the mornings for preschool. It reminds me of the special times I had with Lily when she was Rose's age. We have our own time of homeschool learning our numbers (she could count to 10 a couple weeks ago but now she keeps saying 1239), she can already say the alphabet, and she knows the oval shape, heart, and circle, we are working on the other shapes to recognize. I wish I would have started this earlier with her. It is so amazing how much their little brains remember. She loves to wear her tutu over her clothes all day and dance every time she hears music just like her sister. I hear her say "Lily dance....dance Lily or clap Lily clap" when we are in the car jamming to music. I've enjoyed having another little girl that is completely opposite to her sister. I can't believe my baby girl is growing up so fast.
