Two.Eleven Years

2.11 Years

• This picture makes you look so much older. You wanted me to straighten your hair that morning. After the big kids go off to school, you become my little shadow, following me around as I get ready. I don't mind, and in fact, I am wish having this time with you when you start school. You like to listen to music on my phone and try on my shoes while I am showering. It takes twice as long to dry my hair because you will pull up your shirt for me to dry your belly. Makeup is your favorite, always asking for my lip stain and "the pink stuff" (blush). 
• This month has been pretty routine. On Mondays, Dad is home so we tend to spend the day home though occasionally we meet up with friends at Jungle Gyms. Tuesdays, we head to the church for dance workout where you get to run around with your friends. Afterwards, we have a babysitting swap going on between the twins house and little Sam's house. Wednesdays are Moms connection twice a month followed by story time. Thursdays are workouts at the church and then we will either go home or invite little Annie to come over. Fridays are at home days after three days of on the go. You still nap each day if I stay in the room with you until you fall asleep. When you wake up, I let you watch one of your shows. After the show, big kids come home and you like to play with them. 
• Daddy likes to touch you into bed and go through all the goodbye friend saying, "See you later Alligator, In a while Crocodile." Last night you ended by saying, "Back for more, dinosaur. Gas *psstttt*" You have got quite the humor sometimes. 
• When I ask you how old you are going to be on your birthday, you always say 11 first. Then I have to correct you and say 3. Since you are so tall for your age (wearing 4t and a few 5t) and can talk so well, some days I feel like you have grown up so fast and are turning 11 soon. I beg you to stop growing up, but you never listen.
• I don't know if I have mentioned this, but me and you have a special saying. I like to tell you that I love you more than chocolate. Then you reply, "I love you more than chocolate. I'm going to eat you all up! *mmmmm*I ate you up all gone." You really are so loving. You ask for hugs and kisses all throughout the day.
