Dear Emma:
My beautiful girl, it's hard to believe that you are actually two! Time just continues to race by and you are growing too fast. It feels like you just turned one but here you are, two years old already.
You are doing so much talking these days. Your first instinct is to cry still but we are definitely making huge progress. You have figured out that just saying "please" goes a long way and that at least we know you want something. Sometimes the figuring out what you want is a different story but we are getting there slowly. You are doing so much repeating and just trying to tell us whatever is on your mind. And you definitely have plenty on your mind.
You are also pretty fearless. I definitely wish you had more fear because I have plenty of fear for both of us. You are always climbing and jumping and just doing without thinking. The only thing that does seem to scare you is the train that you can you hear at night while you are trying to sleep. Other than that you definitely leap before you look.
About a month ago we took the rocking chair out of your room and put my old dollhouse in your room in its place and you are obsessed with the dollhouse, especially the people. You are constantly carrying around the people everywhere to the point where I ended up giving you a bag to put them in because you just didn't have enough hands. So now before you leave a room, you ask for your bag to make sure they travel with you. You have also been into cars lately. I brought up the old parking garage from downstairs and you have been getting plenty of play time with that.
Your other favorite thing lately is this wooden Radio Flyer push trike. We have it on our main floor and you easily ride that every day constantly, just going around in circles. You get yourself going really fast then pick up your feet and coast for as long as you can. You are definitely obsessed. Other favorites continue to be blanket and Speedy (the sloth). You are also pretty obsessed with Bluey and lately Scooby Doo, although I think you only love Scooby because your brother and sister love it so much so it's on a lot. One of these days you'll watch a Disney princess movie.
Lately we have just been up to much of the same. We don't go a lot of places but we do go for our daily walks for school drop off and pick up. You are pretty content. I get asked often if you are ever unhappy, because you just ride along and are never not happy to be there no matter how cold and rainy it might be. Sometimes when we drop off Connor while we are walking in front of the school you start calling for Addie because you know she's in there somewhere.
You wear me out completely. You keep me on my toes and keep things a bit more lively than I would like sometimes. But I wouldn't change you for the world. You have so much personality. You have so much life, so much energy. You make every day so much better for just existing. I can't wait to see what the next year brings. I love you so much, M&M.
Love, Mama
