you've love hearing made up stories about you and baby rescuing people and saving the day, and baby always says "ooga booga booga booga"


. funny things you've said/done .

"mommy, you are maleficent {evil witch/dragon from sleeping beauty}, daddy is the prince, I'm the princess and baby is tinker bell"
"crocolaid" = crocodile
"poorple" = purple
After telling you the story of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, and how He grew up and died for our sins, you said "yeah, and then Jesus got bit by a lion!"
it was raining really hard one day, and you said "oh no! Jesus will make it stop"
jumping off anything and saying "1 2 3 dreams come true!"
 
 naked party times with baby before you get into your pajamas for bed
hopscotch: it's just one of those things you need to see....hilarious
you ask to go back to disney world everyday! {not an exaggeration}

You love your friends and family, always asking to see them and "where are they"? You love to list everyone you love, and refer to baby as "your best friend"
your sunday school teacher told me that you get your friends to all hold hands when you pray in class :)
you love to talk and sing all day long. I try not to get irritated, it's so sweet, but I'm a sinner. You just want to ask questions about everything and know everything thats going on. And you want me to know everything you're doing and thinking.

I've gotten better at doing your hair, thank you mousse!

you still get carsick .... not cool!
{I think you're carseat has been washed more times than a carseat should ever be washed!}

{doing yoga with mommy}

. achievements .

potty trained!

no more pacifiers

sleeping well in your own bed

we have had no major accidents/injuries with you this year! Praise the Lord! no burned hands, no surgeries....it's been a whole new world! {I cannot say the same for baby, though}

Clover:
I love you so much. I cried the day after you came into this world because time was moving to quickly. It has moved so fast. You grow so much everyday. Just the other day I heard you say "baby I'm sorry for {such and such} will you please forgive me" and it melted my heart.

You are so funny but you are also growing to be sensitive and caring. You don't always obey the first time, but you have a very tender heart when we discipline and you're always remorseful.

You always help me with the baby, getting me diapers, encouraging baby to say "yes" and not "no". You are a great big sister. 

You will always be my baby and I love you so muNch!
