For your 6 year party you had your very first sleepover with your two best friends.

4 years-I just cannot even find the words to express how incredibly sweet you are. You love to cuddle, you love being Mommy's special helper and basically just love being at home with your family. You are super into dinosaurs right now (I am sure you can tell by the picture:). Dinosaurs, cars, trucks all the fun typical boy stuff. You have developed quite the country accent and I just cannot get enough of it! You taught your sister how to say "please" and were soo proud of yourself. You also love learning and doing homework so I printed out a bunch of school worksheets for you to do at home. I love how your little mind is growing. When we are going to be away from each other you say " Mommy I'll talk to you in my heart".

3 years-You are getting soo big! One of your favorite things to do is read. We try to go to the library every few weeks and read to you every evening. You also really really like Mickey Mouse clubhouse. You will ask in your sweetest voice "Mommy may I watch a little Mickey Mouse please". Who can say no to that! You tell us you love us all of the time. My favorite is when you say "Mommy I love your heart".

2 year 4 months-still loving dirt and all toys construction work related.
You have become such a considerate person. You always ask me and Daddy if we are happy and if we are ok if we look like we are upset. You love to give hugs and you tell us you love us without us saying it first. You are really into singing and know all the words to Twinkle Twinkle, Itsy bitsy spider, ABC's and You are my Sunshine.

2 years-loves Batman, tractors and dump trucks. Can make all animal sounds and knows most colors.
Can have a conversation. My favorite things you say:
Mommy what wrong
I don't like it
What the hell (oops wonder who you learned that from)
Hi Daddy hi

22 Months-Loves giving kisses, says complex words like Waxahachie and cockadoodledo, loves Clyde and all other puppies. Calls people "pretty"

18 Months-Developing a silly personality, running into our arms for hugs, still dancing, following simple instructions and developing a love for books.
