the iz biz, 28 months

oh iz biz...where to start, where to start...
Age 2 +
say "cheese"

 

you are a bundle of love, energy, emotions, ideas, attitude, sweetness, and smarts.

today at the park you were swinging next to me, praciting saying "hi what's your name"
"my name's iz" "i'm 2 years old" "i have my grown up with me"
then pushing some other girls on the meri-go-round at the playground a while later you say "is that good? you all having fun? you like it?"

i will miss it when these cute little 2 year old phrases are gone...
and then again there are some things i am sure i won't miss, #2 situtions, tantrums, etc...

Iz, this week you drew your first smiley faces! (see below) you still love coloring, paiting, and stickers and i love crafts too so we do them together often.

 

Smiley faces! "mommy and daddy"

You went through a week or so of tuff bedtime and naptime transitions...but now (knock on wood) i couldn't feel more proud as you do such a good job taking your bath, reading stories and playing with us, then asking for a backscratch and the story of when you were born --then you say "good night!, leave the door open," and try to move your fingers to sign "i love you". Then we leave the room and hear you talk/pick up, etc. to tubbies "you named him Tubu" for a while before we peek back up to see you snuggled under your covers in bed. such a good girl. and in the morning you start your day with "good morning tubu" or a favorite story of grahams- busting into mom and dad's room with your basket of bath toys at 6am to announce, "tub toys!" . I love being here in the mornings as i am usully at work so miss seeing your smiling face first thing. Sometimes (like today) you're up early (5am) with your brother, to give me lots of play time and a little grumbling about why you never sleep in when i'm home in the morning. =)

you love to help make pizza and you love to play in water with your bar of soap. lol
Oliva and Froggy are favorite books and you master your dora and diego puzzles- sometimes pretending you can't do them so we play with you. You still love going to the park and fruit snacks are a fav. We go to the library regularly and you really enjoy picking out books and a few DVDs and finding the stuffed animals to read to while we are there. you are alredy trying to teach bodie things, "no bodie no!". lol and do (most days) give him toys and hugs throughout the day. you love clothes and socks, and prefer to wear your pjs- or nothing!- all the time. =)

 

Vacuuming, i.e." i do it!"

we are talking about going on our trip after christmas, and i know you are excited because every so often you will say "we go on an airplane to see aunt mel, uncle chris, oscar and tobie"! and I have to remind you...no today- in a few weeks!

love ya biz! thanks for all the dance parties, laughs, hugs, tea time and story times, ..you are the best
