Her Second Birthday

Dear Chloe,

It's hard to believe another year has passed! I still think of you as a baby, but you really are a big girl.


Here's some of what you are up to as you turn two:

Took your first step towards environmental responsibility by switching to the potty from disposable diapers
Like to watch American Idol, and ask for it by name (Amerkin Igol!)
Love Diego and Dora, whom you still call "Doh doh"
Pronounce a hard "c" like an "s"- Sonner! Sitty! Sann(d)y!- only it's not a plain "s." It's more like a fat-tongued "s" that's not quite an "sh" but definitely can not be recreated in print.
Of the food we order from Sakura, you prefer the Marty roll.
Love to blow bubbles or float on your back in the bathtub
Still love your paci and your pink blanket from Beth, but really only when it's time to sleep.
I think you're going to need braces on your teeth
After passing gas, you exclaim, "I farted!" with pride


After burping, often ask "Did you hear that?" and laugh
Know your parents' real names
Favorite word is "MINE!"
Are really excited that it's your birthday
Despite your parents' best efforts, are a total juice junkie
Like to sing The Alphabet Song, substituting a hilarious thing with your tongue for "LMNO"
Worship your brother, but don't usually let him know that
Are smart, articulate, and absolutely gorgeous.


Happy birthday! I love you!
Mom
