she uses all day long, for all of the amazing things
she does each day of her 23 months!
She loves to hang on everything,
on bars, on cars, on mommy and daddy's arms,
even upside down, which makes mama say, "Yikes!"
She loves to jump, jump, jump and "RUN!"
especially wearing "Alex's shoes,"
and when there are puddles underfoot.
"What sound is that?" she asks,
with her hand over her ear, and when
she hears the rain, she sings, "Ran, Rain, Go way..."
She loves to feed the fish, and
swim like a fish in any kind of "wawee"
and play in the bubbles too.
She likes to do most things her "self"
like wash from head to toe, she scrubs
her tummy and her hands, and mama's too.
She sings her ABCs something like this,
"ABCEUNO..." and also "la la Elmo, la la Elmo"
and many other tunes.
She says "please,""thank you" and "sorry"
and almost all other things, she gives hugs and kisses,
and asks for them when she gets an "ouchie."
She goes poo-poo on the potty,
something she taught her self, "I did it!"
she says, as she flushes it down.
She is a regular dog-walker,
and wipes her face and says, "yuck"
when she gets kisses on her face.
She loves to feed grandpa's chickens,
right out of her hand, my brave little girl
who's growing and growing and growing away.
