27 Loves..All About You..Calumazoo

In honor of you being 27 months old I wrote 27 things I love about you right at this very moment in time!

1.) I love the way you say "Watch Me", and then take off running as fast as your cute little chubby legs will carry you.

2.) I love how you are always willing to share. The other day when Evan was sad that his most favorite Minnie Mouse balloon from Disney popped and he was sobbing, you offered your most favorite Mickey balloon to make him feel better.

3.) I love how you often answer Mommy using "Okay Mommy", even when you really don't like what you are agreeing too.

4.) Your ability to get so messy in mere seconds.


5.) Your hazel eyes

6.) I love how you almost always wake up happy. I always say How are You? How was your sleepy time? You usually say "How are You" back to me with rising intonation, and a big cheesy grin. It's a great way for us both to start our day.

7.) I love your love for anything sweet. Chocolate, donuts, cookies, candy, ice cream, cupcakes, even mam's mocha's.

8.)How you add the words "All through the town" from "The Wheels on the Bus" song to the ends of things you are saying or other songs you are trying to sing.

9.) I love your Independence. Although frustrating when Mommy is in a hurry. You want to do everything all by yourself ; climb up into your car seat, booster seat at the table, seat belt and booster seat buckles, carry your own plate, help put your clothes on. You are even putting on your own shoes these days.

10.) I love how you always say "I no yike ___" usually with a scrunched up nose, whenever you don't like a certain food.

11.) I love your ability to express yourself. You can tell how you feel, what you want, and even things that have happened if Mommy was not in the room. When we were in Disneyland and we got up earlier than you would have liked you told me "Mommy I still a yittle (little) tired". That still amazes me! You are speaking in 5-6 word sentences all the time.

Today you were telling me all about your boo-boo. Boo boo's and band aides continue to be a BIG DEAL around this house. You told me "Mommy my boo boo is underneath my band aide". That's a pretty impressive sentence for a 27 month old. Since Mommy is a Speech Therapist, this scores you some major extra points.

12.) How you love to cuddle with Mommy, and will never turn down a hug or kiss. You still love to be held. Although this is sometimes hard for Mommy, I DO love it!

13.) I love how you sit in "time out" with Evan to offer him some brotherly love and support.

14.) I love how you love to explore things, and then will come back to check in with Mommy.

15.) How you tell me "I be right back in one minute", using a one finger up gesture. Usually followed by "You stay right here Mommy".

16.) I love your mellow laid back, go with the flow nature. It definitely helps this mama when I start to take life a little or a lot too seriously.



17.) I love how you carry around your baby wherever you go.

18.) I love how social you are.

19.)I love that you love to make bubble beards during bath time.



20.) How you still try so hard to jump with the correct arm movements, knees bent, but still no lift off!

21.) I still love how you say "hold you" to me. Often times when we are on the road and you are in your car seat you will say "Mama get out and hold you". Ah so sweet!

22.) How you start many of your sentences with Me. "Me go with you.", "Me do it".

23.) I love when you slightly rock your body side to side when you are excited about whatever you are talking about, and how you move your hands when you are talking.

24.) I love the way you say Chocolate when you ask for chocolate in your morning milk.

25.) I love how you never want the fun to end.., ah again like your mama. This
creates problems when it's time for bed. You will NEVER admit that you are tired, and you ALWAYS put up a fight to go sleep. Mommy is wondering if/when this will end.

26.) I love the way you say "wuv oo" for " I love you".

27.) Most of all I LOVE how you complete our family. You are such a blessing to us!
