Two and a Half!

Here are some of the things we love about you, Madeline Rose, our two and a half year old wonder:

- Bath time: wrapped up in a towel shouting that you are a "hotdog, lollipop, Halloween burrito!"

- "No nap today. Maybe tomorrow."

- Ka-blu-URP!

- Breaking out into a new song. (Bats are hanging)

- Laughing and laughing at the funny parts of "your songs" in the car ("I thought I heard a CHICKEN sneeze?!?!")

- Running, trying to beat Daddy to get the toothpaste (and when daddy says "you beat me!" saying "you beat me, too!")

- Making faces for Mommy at bedtime

- Obsessive about routines

- Best hugger ever

- It was an "askident"

- Making mommy and daddy laugh...a lot!

- Potty training

- Loving Dora (and candy)

- Always having a "friend" (stuffed animal or doll) waiting in the car

- Three friend limit tucked in under your blankets at bedtime 

- Singing itsy-bitsy spider, twinkle, twinkle little star and bats are hanging every night at bedtime

- "Let's think about it."

- Making Strawberry Soup for us in your play kitchen

- Using the "flip trick" to put on your jacket

- Your quest for independence (and strong will: "No, I do it!")

- Your kind spirit, wanting to "check in" if a friend is sad

- Still doing a "Beavis" on request- even expanding to a "Beavis hug"

We love you SO MUCH, Madeline Rose Faust!!
