While she is the most dramatic, quick tempered and stubborn 2 1/2 year old I know. She is still my best little buddy, giggle mate, and social butterfly.
She is talking so well it seriously amazes me! Today she said, "Mommy, can we go on the slide right now?" (which means, "Can we go on the on ramp to the freeway?")
She will finally sit through an entire movie. Toy Story is her favorite. I can't wait for the free family film festival this summer!
Cars are still her favorite thing to play with. She has one in each hand almost always.
She loves to cook "eggs and toast" on her play stove. Sometimes when she's serving me, she'll tip over the plate and say, "Oops! It spilled."
I'm still waiting for her hair to come in, but after looking at some older pictures, I'm amazed at how much it's grown!
6 months ago.
If you don't know, I teach the Suzuki method for piano and one of the first rhythms my students learn we call "Grasshopper". I am proud to say that she clapped along with me almost perfect on her 1st try! I mean she has heard it from birth. It'll be interesting to see if she'll let me teach her at a young age, or if she'll be so stubborn that I'll have to send her to someone else.
Other things she loves:
- Nursery
- Going places
- Eating
- Suckers
- Chocolate in all forms
- Her yellow blanket
- Dora
- Singing
- Boston
- Swinging
- Friends
- Hot Dogs
- Disneyland (Small World, Dumbo, Carousel and Pirates are the rides she talks about most)
- Picnics (eating on a blanket in the front room)
- Playing in the rain/splashing in puddles
Dislikes:
- Water in her ears and eyes
- The stringy things on bananas (she calls them "pieces")
- Staying home all day
- Getting her hair brushed
- Being told what to do!
A couple fun things I wanted to document:(which of course I can't remember them all right now)
Me: "Brighton, are you hot?" B: "NO!!!! I'm not hot! ... Justin's hot! Stacy's Hot!"
B: As she picks up my phone. "I'm going to send Grandma a text, okay?" (I just couldn't beleive she said text! Kids these days.)
Happy 1/2 birthday Stinks!

I seriously can't believe how well she sings right on pitch! Well...I shouldn't be surprised.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who doesn't understand why this post is called 42 months? Doesn't 2 1/2 years = 30 months? Or am I just lacking sleep?
ReplyDeleteHa! I guess I'm the one lacking sleep!
ReplyDeleteJodee she seriously is just a doll! I wish we lived closer. Her and Jackson would have way too much fun together! She is such a smarty pants too!! I am amazed at how much she can do. I used to feel bad when I would read your posts because I started thinking my kid was dumb! Ha ha. But I've come to realize boys are always behind girls. I love the ballet post and pictures too! She is too funny and cute!
