2 1/2 Years Old

Today my sweet monkey is officially 2 ½ years old. I can’t believe how fast time flies by, it seems like yesterday that I was pregnant! She is so much fun and I love to spoil her rotten. Josh is working late tonight so I told her we’d do something special after school since it is her half year b-day. For the record I have never celebrated a “half” year birthday but it is a good excuse to do something fun on a Tuesday  It will probably involve me buying her a new dress or some shoes. She is such a girl and I totally promote it.

Now that she is 2 ½ Emmy:

Obsessed with the color purple. She only wants to wear purple, east purple food and points out everything that is purple. Her favorite juice to drink is prune juice because she thinks it looks purple (no, we have not yet introduced her to grape juice…). She keeps telling me that she wants to look for purple cats which is weird since I am not a big fan of the color or the animal.

Loves to jump. I mean she jumps everywhere. She’ll just stand there and jump for no reason. She sure is building up some leg muscles! She makes Josh and I take turns jumping in the middle of a circle and sings “Mama, mama, jump up and down, turn around and sit back down. MINE TURN!”. She could do this for hours….

Sings constantly. In the car, after her nap, the grocery store, etc. She can sing more songs than I can list. It is amazing how quickly she can learn them. I read somewhere that kids who sing will experience less stress, this kid is going to be stress free!

Is very particular about what she eats, how she wears her hair, what she wears, what I wear!

Likes to ride in the car with the window all the way down. She gets totally upset when we are in the jeep and it doesn’t go all the way down.

Remembers EVERYTHING. I swear she has some sort of photographic memory.

Is so social, she loves to be around kids of any age. A teenager will skate board by and she’ll yell “Hey big boy, what are you doing?”, it is pretty hilarious.

Her favorite phrase is still “I’ll do it!”.

Loves to floss, she thinks it is a special treat when I let her. I actually bribe her to brush her teeth by telling her she can floss afterward.

Is obsessed with stickers (purple ones of course), you’d think I was handing out M&Ms.

Eats a popsicle almost every day. They are homemade so I figure they can’t be that bad.

Is my bestest little buddy!
