I'm 27 months right now (I just like to say that I'm 2), and here are some of the things that I've been up to...
Things I like to do: I love to jump, run in circles, do somersaults, talk, go to Walmart and Fareway, read books, color (and sometimes eat crayons!), play "come back here" with Papa (Mommy and Papa still don't know the actual rules of the game), talk on the phone, watch Sesame Street (well, actually Elmo's World) and America's Funniest Home Videos, tease and chase Charlie, go to youth group, build towers and knock them down, and go on the swings at the park.
Favorite toys: I love my "walker", my kitten, my babies, stickers, chap stick (Mommy says I can carry them around as long as I don't open them... I obey pretty well), my Elmo, and my Leap Frog book.
How I've been sleeping: I usually sleep from around 8:30 to 7 or 7:30 in the morning. I've been fighting my naps, lately, but when I do nap, it's usually from 1 to 3:30ish. I do the best when I get a lot of sleep! Mommy always tells me that. I sometimes like to try on all of the shoes in my closet when I'm supposed to be sleeping...
Favorite foods: I love sugar snap peas, frozen peas, fig newtons, apples, STRING CHEESE, cottage cheese, veggie straws, eggs, carrots, goldfish, and Cheerios.
Favorite songs to sing: ABCs, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars (yes, I sing stars, not star), I Love You So Much (a song that Poppy made up), Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E, and any song from church and youth group.
Milestones: I am talking a lot. My mommy and papa can usually recognize what I'm saying, but sometimes other people cannot. I can recognize my capital letters, but not my lower case, yet. I can recognize the numbers 0, 1, 4, and 9. I can count to 20, but I usually forget 13, 15, and 17. I can count down from 10 to 1 (I sometimes need help with that, too). I know how to spell my name (only out loud). I can draw a line and circle... one time I drew the number 9 on accident, but I could recognize what it was. My mommy was impressed. I can recognize some shapes: a circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, hexagon, star, and moon. I can take off my shoes, socks, and coat. I can, also, balance on one foot.
Milestones I'm working on: Mommy and I are working on recognizing my lower case letters and other numbers. Mommy has also been talking a lot about using the big girl potty. I'll probably start doing that soon. We've, also, been working on getting myself dressed and undressed. Mommy's been trying to help me write letters and numbers, but it will probably be a long time before I can do that. Mommy's, also, been correcting me with my verb tenses. Apparently, when I do things in the past, "I did it", not "I do it". I still say "hold you" when I want my mommy to hold "me".
My personality: I have a very sensitive heart. When I hear or see someone crying, I try to comfort them. I really make my mommy and papa laugh, a lot. I love people and to be the center of their attention. I'm very aware of my surroundings, as well. I try to be polite (saying yes please, thank you, and excuse me).
My mommy and papa say that I'm a good helper and will be a great bigger sister. I'm excited to have a new brother, but I don't think I really understand what that will be like. My mommy and papa also tell me that I bring them a lot of joy. I know that they love me a lot!
