Sally Jean 19 Months

Oh Sally,

You are such a wonderful thing.  You have become quite the clown, lately.  You will do so many things to get a good laugh out of people.  I hope you always bring joy and laughter to those you are around.

Although, you are still opinionated and can be quite hard to take places, especially out to eat, I am noticing that you are learning more ways to deal with not getting your way that aren't always throwing yourself on the ground, dragging your head along the ground, screaming a blood curdling scream.  I mean, you still do these things often, but not always.  :)

You have found a new way to express your creativeness.  Mommy  can't even go into the laundry room and fold laundry without you getting into something!

You like to do things on your own, Little Miss Independent!  Your Mimi thinks you are SO good with the fork and spoon.  I think she is a little biased. Look at you!  I mean, did anything get into your mouth?

You LOVE chocolate icecream ( or any flavor of ice cream, for that matter) at Sweet Frog's.  

You prefer to swing on the big girl swing!

And, there are these rare moments when I will catch you sitting in your little rocker reading books by yourself.  

You are like a billy goat and climb onto everything!  You get yourself into many predicaments because sometimes you underestimate the climbing ability that is needed.  You are a picky eater and prefer carbs.  You enjoy your nap time and bed time.  You have enjoyed sharing your room with Ava.  You two are so cute in the morning because I let you stay up there a little longer because you are both enjoying each other's company.  Ava will bring you books and get your pacifier for you if it falls out, and she told me that she likes to jump around and make you laugh while you are in your crib in the morning.

You, my spirited, determined, strong-willed little girl are very much loved.  By many people.  You have such a strong, but funny and lovable, personality.  God has made such a creation in you.  Now, go live it out for His glory!
