When we bring you into bed to snuggle in the morning, you like to sing to yourself.

You went as Snow White for Halloween.  At first you really really didn't want to.  You wanted to go as Princess Sophia.  I lied and told you that the "Princess Sofia" (generic, random maker) dress you wanted to wear was dirty.  You understood that and put on the Snow White dress.  From there you LOVED trick-or-treating.  You and your brother had a system - you both walked up the steps and once he rang the doorbell you shouted "Happy Halloweeeeeeen!"  I reminded you that you had to wait til someone opened the door.  You then yelled, "Trick or treeeat!"  When they did finally open the door you didn't say a word.  I reminded you what to say, so then you quietly said, "twick o tweet".  When you got your candy you so politely said (without having to be reminded most of the time) "Thank you.  Happy Halloween!"  You then came back down the stairs without my help.  You absolutely loved Halloween!  The three of us walked through the streets singing songs, holding hands - just a wonderful, wonderful night.  I asked you what you want to be next year and you said, "Snow White again!!"  Take that Princess Sofia...

You started pronouncing the "r" in your name.  I hate it.  It means you're getting old.

You were sitting on the couch and then all of a sudden started crying, "Mommy, I have pins and noodles!  I have pins and noodles!"  It took me a second to realize you meant needles. :)

You've started thanking me and Daddy for playing with you before you go to bed.  It is so super cute.

You stopped calling Oscar the Grouch "aw-key".

Today I'm writing what you're doing right now - not yesterday. I'm watching you on the video at your school, and you are just so cute. So so cute. I can't stand it. You've got little pigtails and you're jumping all over the play yard. And now you're chasing bubbles. You're this perfect little being right now - your vocabulary makes you easy to understand, your love for your brother is obvious and beautiful, and the way you yell, "Tickle tickle!!" makes my heart melt. (Of course, you pronounce is "Tee-kow, tee-kow!!") Either way, this is my short little love letter to you. I love you, and all the cute things you do. Can't wait to pick you up this afternoon. :)
