Hey there kiddo!
Well I actually have a GREAT excuse for skipping last month's newsletter - we were on vacation! And it was so awesome for all of us. You got to go all over Southeastern Seaboard for almost 2 weeks with us. It was a blast.
Amazingly - driving from Dallas to Tybee Island was not bad with you. Not bad at all. I think our super extended car rides over the weekends really helped you be 'conditioned' to be in the car for long periods of time.
We even rode through the tail end of a Tropical Storm/Hurricane! Pretty crazy - but it made for some AMAZING photos at the beach. This was your first time in the Ocean. It scared you - but you did great.
This trip really made me fall in love with you all over again. You were such an amazing creature to be around. So full of life and curiousity - but also this new restraint. You were able to comprehend why we said no to some of the things you were doing and accept that we did it for a reason and were ok with it.
We went to a wedding and that was probably the worst you were -but all it all. It was quite something. You did FINALLY get some sleep once we made it over to Beaufort to visit your Great-Grandma. I think part of the problem with being hyper was lack of sleep. There was just too much for you to see!
You also visited the grave of your grandparents. And it was really touching for all of us involved.
From Tybee - we went to Savannah, from Savannah to Beaufort, SC and from Beaufort to Atlanta - where you got to visit with your other set of grandparents. You had such a great time!
It was a long and wonderful trip - and amazingly you were in a great mood even on the way home!
(those would be Goldfish between your toes - you thought it was hilarious!)
After we got back - you started in a new classroom. We were worried that it was a lot of change - but you came through with FLYING colors! You even used the potty BY YOURSELF that day. My God was I a proud and astonished mama.
The leaps and bounds you have made lately have been simply stunning. You use complete sentences. You pick up like five new words and concepts a day! You know all of the shapes by sight except hearts. They just gush over you at daycare. My heart bursts with it all.
You have an amazing little personality and OMG are you just the funniest little thing I have ever met.
We moved you to your 'big' girl bed this last weekend. I was so worried that it would be a problem - but once again you amazed me with your ability to accept change. You sleep like a champ!
And we moved all of your toys upstairs too.
How did we get so lucky with you kid?
I love you to peices and then some.
Love mom.
