It has been a long time but we have been super busy, haven't we? You are talking so much more now. New words everyday and you are stringing more words together. You heard the garage and you said "Daddy home."
You are obsessed to be outside. Everyday we get home and you say "Slide." We have opened the backyard to you. You love running and playing with the puppies. You love the neighbors and talking to them. But, it makes it hard because you hate it when we make you come in.
We sent you up to Minnesota with Auntie Val and Great Gramma. We got lots of good reports that you are a good traveler. You spent the night with Brian, Auntie Val and Gramma. When you woke up, you said "JoeJoe?" I think you really love your brother and you missed him. You learned how to say Brian and you played soccer together. I was so excited that you were able to see your Godfather before he moved to Virginia. We are unable to drive there!
On Saturday, you and I went to the Disney show at the Civic Auditorium. I was so excited to go with you. When we walked in, you were kind of shy and looking around. When the announcer came on, you were so scared I thought we were going to have to leave. When the lights went down, you were scared again but you would peek from my lap to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy & Donald. As time went on, you relaxed a bit and watched some more from my lap. But, it got a little scary so you were hiding again. But, you changed when Mickey & Team came out again. You got so excited. You were pointing and waving and saying "Hi." You made me so happy that I could share that with you and once again, it showed me what being a mommy is all about. You danced a little bit during Cinderella. You got scared again during Beauty and the Beast. At the end, I told you to say "GoodBye" and you did. You started waving, saying "Bye" and blowing kisses. For some reason, you are now all about Donal Duck. When they would leave the stage, you would say "Where'd Quack Quack go?" You kept asking and asking. I think you had a great time and I had an awesome time! Thank you for being so much fun.
I love watching you with your brother. You get too excited sometimes but you treat him so gentle at other times. You will reach out for no reason and hold his hand. You will kiss him out of the blue. I tell you to "watch Joejoe" while I go get a bottle or milk from you. You will scoot close to him and put your arm around him. Yesterday, I asked you to hold his bottle and you were so careful. I went to get you milk and he must have spit the bottle out because I heard you pleading with him to eat. You kept saying "JoeJoe" in a pleading voice. It was so cute.
You want to be such a helper. You helped me dump a bunch of bottles out and you had so much fun. I asked you to put something in your room and you did. You are getting better at listening. Mommy has had to be stern with you a few times & put you in time out. But, now, you listen better - especially when I say things stern and give you stink eye :)
We hope to do fun things this week! We are going to the pumpkin patch - woohoo! On Friday, I will be having surgery & I will miss you on Friday night. But, afterwards, I should be feeling so much better and will be able to play with you more. I won't be able to lift you for awhile but I won't be in so much pain.
I will leave you with some photos :)
Me & you eating cotton candy at the Disney show.
Your self portrait at the allergist. You took my phone and just started snapping photos. You were cleared from all food allergies during that visit. No more Soy Milk!

Pooh - another character that you hated standing by.
More characters that scared you. But, I bet Gramma Debi D secretly loved you squeezing her so tight. :)
