Dear Nolan ~ 22 Months

Dear Nolan,

In two short months you will be a 2 year old. TWO. Two years old. I can't wrap my head around it. Ok, I can. I will tell you why...because this past month has been the month of At-ti-tuddeeeeeee. Yes, you my shy, lovable, little boy have come out of your shell. You are loud. You are goofy, sweet and cranky all in one. Just the other day when I picked you up from daycare your teacher told me that during naptime you are starting to play in your crib and get all the other kids riled up before you pass out! Ha..no way, not my kid. Told you, out of your shell.

You are making me believe that the "terrible twos" are a real thing. I know you are not two yet, but I think we have reached this "phase". I am sorry that you seem to live in timeout lately, but we don't yell, we don't throw (unless it's a ball, then it is ok) and we don't get to demand candy for dinner. You are stubborn. You know what you want and you like to yell until you get it. That is not how it works though.

You can be very polite though. For example, if you don't want something (after you scream "no" 700 times) you will say nicely, "no, thank you". The other day when I sneezed you said "bless you, mommy".

You love to sing. At bedtime, we read books and then we rock and sing songs. It is so cute because now you always want us to sing together and we do just that. Our night time playlist consist of, "skinna marinky dinky dink", "twinkle, twinkle little star", "row, row, row your boat", "itsy bitsy spider", "happy birthday", ABC's", "1,2 buckle my shoe" and many more.

Aunt Aunnie introduced you to the song "Let It Go" from Frozen and you are obsessed. I think it is time we let you attempt to watch your first movie. You always ask to watch Let It Go and can sing along.

I ran to the bathroom for a few seconds and you managed to get into my phone and recorded your first and very hilarious video. I had no idea you did this and watched it not too long ago for the first time and laughed for about 10 minutes. Thank you for cracking me up, Nolie! <3

You love to jump, both on your trampoline and the ground. You love to play ball..basketball, baseball, football, soccer, catch, anything with a ball. You love bubbles and balloons. You are the world's best sleeper. You ask us to go to sleep. You actually don't like when we wake you up. You have said, "no, sleep!" to me before and rolled back over. You love your teddy bear. Last night, 3am to be exact, you started crying "teddy bear!! teddy bear!!". You were still asleep, but could not find teddy bear. Daddy went in your room and found him at the other end of your crib and tucked him under your arm. You stopped crying for him and carried on sleeping

You are so funny and we just can't get enough of you. You make us laugh. You melt our hearts. You are our everything.

And now, I need to go start planning your 2nd birthday party ~ Jake and the Neverland Pirates! Although, at this point I don't know if you love Jake or Dora more.

I love you so much big boy!

Love,

Mommy

xoxo
