Sweet Gracie,
You are 23 months old and just weeks away from being two. So many new changes have taken place this last month and you are being such a trooper! After our fun filled beach vacation we came home and Mommy and Daddy had to start work. You are going to Miss Lisa’s house and she just lives a few houses down. We are able to walk you there and walk you home. You were upset at first with everything being so new but now you are thriving there. You are a “little mother” to the other kiddos and help feed them and show them their cups and chairs. You have really impressed Miss Lisa and she says you are such a doll!
You just started school last week and I know you are going to learn so much. You go there on Fridays and I can’t wait to see how much you grow from this. I know Miss Pam and Miss Mary will just love you.
Here are some of your more recent funnies…
You skip count, literally you say “2, 4, 6, 8…” We just think this is so funny. (The teachers in us think that you are just too smart!!) Momma has had some school kids before that can’t even skip count!
You love to say “I hold you” but really you mean, hold me! I think it’s so sweet though. You love to sit in my lap and just love on me. You love brushing Momma’s hair and putting on pretend make-up.
You are such a lover. You will come up out of know where and give me a kiss or hug, melts my heart.
You love to watch Jack go outside and ‘do his business’, then when he comes in you announce it to everyone!
You have just started using the potty. You’ve only gone a few times but you love to sit on it and I think that’s great. I am not pushing the potty thing at all, just waiting for you to decide when you are ready. You really like the potty so I think that’s a great start!
You are Momma’s little helper. You just love to help put the dishes away. You are super fast and even started putting the forks in the right drawer (that’s more than Daddy :) )
You are SLOWLY coming to just 1 nap a day. Miss Lisa let’s you take just one nap with her now and you’re doing okay… we’ve had some rough afternoons/evenings but you’ll get it. You only get one nap on Friday’s so it’s time for just one nap (even though we love, love, love you for still taking 2 naps- it’s sure has been nice on us!)
Your favorite activity, play-dough (no surprise) You love getting them ALL out, you won’t settle for me just getting out the orange or yellow. I swear the other day you said “open the orange, Momma” and you did hand me the orange. (I would love to say that she keeps it all on the tray, but not so much!)
Our FAVORITE picture from this month
Daddy and I both have this one framed at school. I could just stare at this sweet face all day!
I have been getting ready for your little birthday party. It will be here before we know it!
So- here’s to 23 months little girl. You are our dream come true.
Love,
Momma

You are such a sweet, caring mom, Shannon! I love reading your letters to Gracie. It's so obvious how much you love her. This next year will just blow you away. She's going to grow and change so much. It's good you are savoring each little step as it comes b/c they pass in the blink of an eye.
What a sweet entry, Shannon! You are such a great Mommy. Gracie will treasure these notes when she is older! What a grown-up little girl she is! It is possible Lydia will be doing all of that 6 months from now? Amazing!
