Two.Seven Years

2.7 Years

• I have absolutely loved having this one-on-one time with you. When we go out, I like to call you "mommy's buddy". You end up teasing both dad and me by switching your labels, telling dad that you are mommy's princess and telling me that you are daddy's buddy. You absolutely love to tease. This month, we haven't one anything too special, but we have a great routine. After the kids leave for school, we read a book or two, eat breakfast, and then I turn on Doc McStuffins music while I get ready for the day. Every week, we go to the library for story time, help out in Sam's class, visit the baby doctor, and play with friends. After lunch, we snuggle on the bed, read books, and take naps together. I will cherish these naps with you. When I am singing you a song, you start to trace along my face. After naps, we cuddle up on the couch and watch Doc McStuffin show. 
• Speaking of Doc McStuffins, you are all about baby doctors right now. When we go to my OB appointments, you tow around your doll in your backpack so you can examine her while we wait. Tema (our OB) lets you hold the doppler to hear the heart beat. Because of this, you now want to be Doc McStuffins/Baby doctor for Halloween. I am waiting a while to order anything to see if you will change your mind though.
• Soccer season is in full force and Maggie has been your designated babysitter while I am with Sam's team. You love going to soccer because usually your have a few friends there. Your favorite thing is to go over to the bike park, take off your socks and shoes and climb up the wall. It is getting colder, but that doesn't stop you. It was hard at first for let me play with the kids because there are times that I can't see you from the field, but you have such a good time and Maggie is good about staying with you.
