All in a Days Work or Play

It is a miracle to watch Everlee every single day and night. It still puts me in awe at how much things seem to change from day to day. One day she is doing this and the next day it is that. She has been growing so quickly before my very eyes. I'm afraid to blink in fear that I might miss something. Here is what you are up to now:
* All Done- Every time you are tired of doing something whether it be brushing your teeth, having your hair brushed, eating, getting dressed you will say "All Done". Even if you have only been brushing your teeth for a second (literally) when you want to stop you will say "All Done."
* Uh-Oh- You love to throw food, toys, anything you can reach and say "Uh-Oh" as if it were a mistake when in fact it was on purpose.
* You love to be the center of attention (which we love to give you!) You love to clap your hands and say with confidence "Yea!" or "Yippee". You will do something over and over again to get the same reaction. I hope you always have this much confidence...especially in your teen years.
* You are obsessed with Elmo. Elmo dolls, Elmo shoes, Elmo's World. Every morning and every afternoon you want to watch Elmo's World. You could care less about the rest of the Sesame Street Show. You want to fast forward to Elmo's World. You will even go as far as taking the remote and trying to fast forward to your favorite part.
* You love the bathtub. As soon as we say "Tubby" you are running for your towel and heading for the bathroom door. Taking you out of the tun usually ends in tears. You love your toys, you love to splash, and you love to pretend like your swimming.
* You have started to be very specific when it comes to your choice of drinks. It is either milk or juice. You always let us know what your in the mood for. You love your chocolate milk and some days you like it hot and some days cold. You will point and whine at the microwave if you want it hot and say "cold" if that is your preference.
* You always know how to show us you love us. You will gives us lots of hugs and kisses. You love to blow kisses and say, "Mmmwah". This is something I started doing with you every night before you went to bed. I would always blow you kisses and say, "Mmmwah" as I was waling out the door. It touched my heart in a way you will never know the moment you first made this gesture back to me.
* You love to set up your "Little People" in their chairs and set them at the table.
* You love to climb into your own highchair and buckle yourself in. Once you are finished you like to out your Strawberry Shortcake doll into the highchair, buckle her up, put a bib on her, and put the tray into the proper place.
It is amazing to watch how independent you have become at such a young age. You love to mirror what we do with you. It is just another sign that you are growing up and growing older. Another reminder that we need to slow down, count the moments, and remember each passing second. Before we know it, you will be writing the same thing about your children.
