Letters to Hope

Almost Christmas and you are doing great. I had to write this because it was so cute. You are doing so many cute things now I hope I remember to write them all down.

Christmas Light Bulb in Your Mouth

We where putting up the Christmas tree and I thought you had a light bulb in your mouth, I was freaking out because I thought OH GOD what if you chew it or swallow it. Visions of emergency rooms and stomach pumping danced threw my head as I held you down and DEMANDED “WHAT’S IN YOUR MOUTH – OPEN YOUR MOUTH … WHAT’S IN THERE”

You looked up at me with the panic in your eyes and said VERY CLEAR. TEETH. TEETH. TEETH. I almost died laughing and smiled and said YES that is right and got you up again. Too funny: that that would be your response.

Then we were in the hot tub the other day and your Daddy was in with you. He laid his head back and you noticed that he was “sleeping” you stated “night night da da” and put your head back and closed your eyes and started to snore. Really loud. Daddy started laughing and you put your hand on his head and said “no no night night da da” and started the snoring again.

You Like To Stand While Eating, Just Like Mommy

You are starting to become quite the little woman. You throw little temper tantrums on a regular basis now and we are having some what trouble when it come to eating. You like to stand while eating. *which I am sure is my fault because you see me eat almost every meal standing over the sink in the kitchen and wolfing down food! I have to start eating dinner with you at the table so that you realize that when we are eating we sit at the table to do it and are polite and sit down instead of standing and jumping in the chair.

Must Correct Now Before Bad Habits Develop

There are so many things that I see that I have to correct. I hope I can do them in time so you do not develop bad habits.
