We took you to eat your first ice cream cone on Thursday and
it was so neat! Our church was putting
on a fundraiser for orphan children in Kenya at Oberweis and it was so cool to
see all the people from Church or from word of mouth come out to support the
cause! And you, well you choose a
chocolate ice cream cone and LOVED IT!
You started off by just licking it but once you got it to be the size of
your mouth, you put the whole thing in! (smile) And you ate every single bite! Daddy helped you a little bit to keep the
mess to a minimum (it was melting fast since we were sitting outside). Take a look at your happy little face!
Pretty sure you like ice cream cones:
Look at that contented chocolate face!
On Saturday, you tested your boundaries, which your
two-itude seems to be doing more of lately.
(smile) You had decided it was
funny to call me by my first name. We however,
did not find that as amusing. You had
done that back on Christmas Eve 2012.
You had heard me being called Aunt Krystin all day while at Nanny and
Pappa’s house and insisted on calling me that the rest of the evening. We learned then you definitely know our
names. However, it is not alright to call
us by those names. Saturday you kept
saying, “Krystin, I love you!” and it was adorable to hear you tell me you love
me but not so adorable to call me by my first name. Which lead to lots of sitting on the
step. And lots of conversations on being
nice and being mean. At first you choose
to be mean. I asked you if you wanted to
be nice. You plainly said, “No.” So more time on the step. It finally got to the point we had to
threaten you with not seeing Nanny. We
were heading to a birthday party that afternoon and Nanny would be there. But we weren’t going to go if you continued
to be mean. You started to choose to be
nice. (smile)
We headed to the party and you were great! You played a ton with Mason and to watch the
two of you in the bounce house together was so incredibly sweet! The love you have for your cousins amazes
me! I grew up without any cousins and
the ones that I have are all my parents’ cousins that are out of state. So to watch you with him was so much fun. You screamed, laughed, played, you plainly
had a blast in that bounce house! You
were sad when Mason didn’t want to be in the house anymore so you even tried to
pull him back in! (smile)
On the way home though, you pushed your boundaries,
again. You insisted on calling me
Krystin again. So I took your balloon
and I played with it. And you little
stinker, it took you all the way home before you got that we meant
business. You finally asked me to turn
around and said, “I love you. Can I call
you mama and not mommy?” Yes you can
sweetie. (smile)
I'll leave you with one last thing. Yesterday, while getting ready for church, you ran into our closet and shut the door. A moment later you turned on the light and several moments after that, you came out and we were both impressed and laughing. You walked out of the closet wearing my boots! With heels! And you looked right up to me and said, "Look Mama! I'm Jessie!" So adorable! You thought you were like Jessie from Toy Story 2 because of the boots! Hilarious!
Jessie's boots!
And upside down silly Jessie!
I love that your imagination is really starting to take
shape and you recognize things, like the boots that Jessie wears in Toy Story. You’re a good kid even with all your
two-itude and twama. (smile) And I love you so much.
Mommy
