Insomnia. I think that's what I have tonight. Here we are, in the middle of one of the busiest times of the year. What am I doing? ...Getting things done! However, tomorrow will be rough....umm...make that today. Hello. It's 12:35 am. Oh my.
It hit me this week. I am totally not jotting down some memorable Josie moments like I should. She's really changing and growing so much. It's hard to keep up with her. So, why not have a "Dear Josie" session every once and a while to log the memories? Here we go.
Dear Josie,
This week, you have blown me away. Always on the go...always watching...always thinking. Your BB says, "No wonder she sleeps so well!" You're still taking two naps daily to refuel.I like to use that time to prepare for the next Jo-zilla attack.So far, you're not a walker. Hurry up, girl. Two steps ain't cutting it. And...mommy's scared your little fingers are going to get stepped on every time we're around big kids.
You are talking up a storm, and I can't get enough of that sweet little voice. Some of your fav phonics are..(translations following)
"Hi-yah!" = light
"MaaaMaaaahh" = Maya
"MaaaMeee" = Mommy
"Da-Dah!" = Daddy
"Haaaaayah!" = Hallelujah! (preacher's kid!)
"Ha" = Elf (on the shelf)
On Monday, I caught you rocking your baby doll for the first time while you watched your praise baby video. It was so sweet. Of course, I was crying...so I don't have a video. Just believe me. It was adorable, and you will cry too when it's your little girl rocking her baby. Just seems like a month ago that you were that little baby being rocked. Eek! Stop growing up so fast!
Today, I bathed you in the afternoon since we had dinner plans later than usual. You must have been thrilled to see the running bath water....cause you made a special puddle in the floor for me to clean up. Then, you tried to reach in the toilet while I was cleaning it up. Then, you tried escaping out of the bathroom while I put the toilet lid down. Then, I had to run and catch you in the den as you crawled away from me....at warp speed....completely naked. Sigh...you are a mess. You're my angel baby.
Love always,
Mommy
