Happy 2nd Birthday Baby Girl
To My Dear Sweet Taelyn Mylanah,
This was your birthday last year:
Goodness Baby, where do I even begin? I haven't written you a letter since you were 15 months! (Bad Mommy) I'm sorry for that, but there is just so much that is going on and there is so much that you are doing that I NEVER want to forget.
Taelyn, you are so independent and always want to do things by yourself. You want to dress yourself, eat by yourself, strap yourself into your car seat. You are just a firecracker! Your favorite word right now is "NO" I HATE it! You say no even if your answer is yes. You say it with such an attitude too. I am working on that with you and trying to teach you to say "no thank you" so it doesn't sound so rude and disrespectful.
You LOVE your daddy. He is your best friend. You are content just sitting still with him just as long as you are in his arms.
You are sweet with him, you freely give him the hugs and kisses that mama has to beg for. You kinda hurt my feelings on a daily basis because you just really don't like to hug or kiss me. I have to attack you to get kisses, only to have you push me away. I would say it is just a phase, but you have always been like this with me. Its ok, I know you love me,
You are so sweet and loving to your brother. You always want to hug him and kiss him, you grab his hand and try to dance with him. I have to remind you to be careful.
I love when you take pictures, you say cheese and smile! You crack me up when you dance. It is a serious matter. Your favorite thing to dance to right now, is Rio.
You still love your Yo Gabba Gabba though. You are drinking out of regular cups, you still drink out of your sippy's when we are in the car because mommy doesn't like a mess, but when we are out you prefer a "cuppy." You are talking so well and can say pretty much everything I tell you to say and you are beginning to put words together to make sentences.
I started potty training you on the Wednesday before your birthday and you were doing great. You kept your panties dry for two days straight. When you had to go, you said, "Mommy, pee pee" and I thought we were done with diapers... then you locked yourself in the bathroom. At first, you were playing in there while I was frantically looking for the key to open the stupid door and when I found it, it wouldn't open. You realized you couldn't get out and FREAKED OUT! You started screaming "MOMMY OUT" I tried holding your hand under the door while I frantically tried to get you out. I have never felt so helpless. I was crying too! I called your daddy to tell me where his tools were so I take the knob off, long story short, Grampy who thankfully was in town saved the day and got you out just as I was about to break the door down! You were so upset when you were finally out, it took nearly 30 minutes to calm you down. Since then, you are no longer going potty on the pot. We will try again in a couple of weeks. :(
When we go to church, you are always such a good girl in you class. I get great reports from the volunteers, but when I pick you up, you cry every time. What gives? I don't know, but I love that you are beginning to sing church songs and you are praying! That totally melts my heart. I just know that you are growing way too fast and I just want things to slow down, but you make me happy everyday and you frustrate me everyday. I love you with every fiber in my being. Keep growing, keep thriving, keep learning, and keep being you. I will try and be the best mommy to you that I can be, I will try and teach you everything, I will challenge you and give you every advantage I can. I LOVE YOU TAELYN!
~Mommy
