I have a two year old. I HAVE a two year old.... and she is my oldest. WHAT? Sometimes I have a hard time realizing how fast time flies. That is until I stop for a second and realize I'm a mommy to two beautiful girls. Two beautiful little spirits that God has entrusted me with. Whew!
These past two years have been the greatest of my life thus far. They have been a roller-coaster ride fore sure but the best by far. My girls are such an inspiration to me. I've never EVER wanted to remember each day as badly as I do now. There were of course days that I would have LOVED to video tape so I could pop them in and remember everything about those days. The British accents with the trio, different high school dances, and of course my wedding day. However, these days, I wish I could tape them all from start to finish. I don't want to forget any little detail of my girls growing up.
Lydia- Two years have FLOWN by. You are such a brilliant, loving, obedient young lady. You LOVE to sign, read books, eat fruit, and dance. Your favorite character is Elmo. You call fishes "bishes" which makes it a little awkward out in public however I still laugh and find it hilarious. I'm going to miss it when you pronounce things correctly. You have an infectious smile, beautiful blue eyes (that "match mommy and Na-Na's... but not dada's"), and lovely dark blonde hair that always gets in your eyes. Every night you sleep with "Pinka" (panda), "Yam" (lamb), chick, monkey, guy, and "yam chock, mom" (lamb chop). I love that you still "name" everything literally by what they are. You love playing with flash cards, coloring with your colors, and watching "signing time Alex Weeya (Leah). Come and payyyy (play)". Thank you so much for teaching me so much everyday. You amazing me all the time. You are a sponge and soak up all that you are taught.... even when I dont realize you are learning... you are. I am so proud to be your mommy. You test your boundaries daily and end up choosing the path with less consequences. That reminds me of myself... or at least the stories Lovey tells about me as a little girl. You are full of life and love. You love to pray before bedtime and it fills my heart with joy to see how passionate you become. You are a WONDERFUL big cousin and an even better big sister. I know I will never have to worry about your sister. You are always going to take great care of her and protect her! Thank you so much for making me better. For challenging me and encouraging me to grow and become a better person for you, sissy, and daddy. You are awesome Lydia Lou-Who! I love you bubs! You will always be my first and oldest princess!! Love love love you to the moon and back!
