Erin - in all of her glory :)

Erin, It is time to tarnish your sweet little name... Well, you were perfect for your first year of life but your second year?? :) I have a few stories! First of all, you are a light sleeper and dont take the longest naps ever AND you wake up bright and early in the mornings- very happy to start your day. Have I told you I am not a morning person?!
You like to pull everything out of your dresser draws in your room - I tell you (in more ways than one!) each time to please leave your clothes and toys alone while 'sleeping'.
Another thing you like to do is get into the diaper creams and vaseline and plaster it all over your body,legs,arms,face and your dollies and your wall. I put the creams in my bathroom but somehow you get to it if I leave you alone for any time at all. Have you ever heard of playing quietly in your room or reading a few books??
I came downstairs the other morning and found you in the lving room watching Dora with the whip cream tub (out and open from the fridge!) along with some turkey lunch meat. Hello, child who just turned 2 in feb? please stay out of the fridge and stop eating me out of house and home.
Another thing you like to do is walk around naked with your princess high heals on - that just makes me laugh! I do insist you wear a diaper but once you soil it (sorry folks!) ... you like to take it off! I have to keep a close eye on you to see where the diaper ended up and that no "remenants" are anywhere. Sorry but this stuff needs to be documented because Erin has been way too good (up until recently!)
You used to really like nursery but for the last few months you have not been a huge fan. You cry each time we drop you off. That is sad :( Good news though- this past sunday your teachers said you were 'helping' them by pushing the other babies in their swings. You love babies! You love hugs and kisses.
You love to color, play plydough, paint, sing and dance. You love the trampoline. You love outside more than Conor does. You could stay out exploring all day in any type of weather. You dont seem to love reading (hope thats not a bad sign for your sholastic future - ha)
You love people and are very friendly. When you are shy, you act so sweet (unlike someone else we know - conor ahem!)
The other day I was in your room and you told me (in your own language) to get into bed. So, I climbed into your toddler bed :) You covered me up, kissed my head, talked sweetly and shut the blinds and blew me a kiss from the door. You also took the toys out of the room which was hilarious to me. You did everything I do to you. After you shut the door, I climbed out of bed and knocked loudly on the door like you do! You came back in and pointed your finger at me and told me to get back into the bed!! You kissed me again and left. Ahhh Erin, I smiled from the bottom of my heart because you were being such a sweet mom. Am I always sweet? No. But you reminded me that you are watching me and learning how to be a mommy and a lady. I will act like God so when you act like me - you are acting like our Master and King of Kings - God.
I love you sweet girl.
