It's hard to believe, but two years have passed since Brad & I became parents. In two years we changed from being DINKS (Double Income No Kids) to each being armed with a child. We are very blessed to have two healthy children & are definitely content to stop the kid parade here. Now since it is Sydney's special day, what can I say about her?
Dear Sydney,
Today you turn two & it is amazing to me that each day we continue to fall more and more in love with you. Right now you are having a tough time adjusting to sharing Mommy & Daddy with your new brother, but you are a very good big sister. Mommy is having a tough time too adjusting to not being able to jump as fast as you want her to jump, but I am confident that over the next few weeks we will all be fine.
You are quite the litte talker & and a little songstress too. You always seem to have something to say. Books are still your favourite thing & you now know a lot of the stories so well that you can look through the book & tell us what is happening in the story. You have so many words I don't think I could even guess how many you know. Dinner time is often marked by a melody of all the songs you know (or parts of them) and it reminds me of when I was a little girl & Uncle Craig saying that if I sang at the table I would cry before I went to bed. I don't think he appreciated my singing as much as we love yours.
You have already started with the "Why??" question & I think it is a long road ahead before we leave that word behind. You also are learning to be "sassy" which is not always as entertaining for Mommy & Daddy as you would like it to be & you do not like when we are stern with you & tell you to stop. Tears often result...a hehaviour that we did not see a few months ago.
You are still a great sleeper at night, which Mommy & Daddy are so very thankful for- but you would still rather not nap during the day. There are things that are much more fun to do, but you definitely still need your nap. After a couple of stories, you are willing to lie down in your crib & you will rest or sleep for at least an hour on most days. Some days you shock us & sleep for more.
You are currently in a Cinderella craze & I think we read that story twenty times a day on the days that you are home with us. However, this is a story that you are learning well & can look at the book on your own & tell us the story.
Physically you lasted accomplishment is...jumping with both feet. Over the last month you have mastered this skill & you do it all the time. I have no idea how much you weigh, but I am guessing around 27 pounds. You are 32 inches tall & I think 2 inches of that height happened over the last four months!
You are a good little girl & keep us interested in what comes next!!!
