two years of pure joy

Beloved Daughter,

You're 2 years old. You're such a joyful, bundle of energy! Your heart is so tender. You love to share, play, pretend, read, sing, dance, eat popsicles with daddy, color and paint, and play outside. You absolutely LOVE your daddy. You always want to be with him... in his lap or on his back or in his arms! You're very, very special. I'm very blessed to have you as my daughter.

Some of the phrases you say on a regular basis are:

"Juice truck please?" (Daddy asks if you wanna ride the juice truck)

"Check mailbox. Get shoes. Okay." (When you want to go check the mail)

"Baby Keeeeeira. So sweet." (When you give her hugs)

"Mikaela, Jesus loves me." (You actually call yourself Kaela)

"Shake your body like a crab." (From Dora the Explorer)

There are many, many things you say that are so adorable! You impress me each day with what you have learned. You know your ABC's and how to count to 14. You know a bunch of songs and make up some of your own. You know each title of your books and can recite most of the pages. When you see the Bible you start singing "Jesus loves me". You love watching the garbage man come, but get confused and call it a fire truck. You are precious! You love people. Grandma, Pa-Pops, Kitty, Uncle Jason, and little John are some of your favorite people to play with. You make Keira laugh and smile more than anyone else. I love you to the moon and back!

Love always,
Mommy
