Q @ 2 ... Terrible? Pas de Tout!

Quinn Ryan, you are just a JOY at 2 years old.  You are sweet, kind, loving, & thoughtful. One example arose yesterday morning.  You put a packet of oatmeal in my backpack that I take to work.  You said, "I put oat-me-meal in yee backpack, Mommy! Eat at work!"  You melted Mommy in that moment.  Other examples of your great big heart of gold: singing Twinkle, Twinkle & Rock a Bye Baby to Baby Tait, kissing Baby Tait, ordering Mommy to "go see Baby Tait" after you give me an exuberant greeting when I get home from work each day, kissing Mommy & Daddy's boo-boos, loving on the puppy & the kitties, saying "I love you, Mommy" & "Have a good day, Mommy!".  Siiiiiiiiiiigh. Quinn, you are so sweet & silly, you amaze me more & more each day.  Your vocabulary is really growing, too.  Some of my favorite things that you say currently are:
"Let's have conversation, Mommy" (conversation?! that's a big word for someone who is not yet 2 & a half!), "good idea, Mommy, good idea.", "Read Little Drummer BOY!" ...  There are so many more that I will have to add as I think of them.

You are excited for Christmas this year.  You & Baby Tait sat on Santa's lap at Somerset last week.  You told Santa that you want a bike & a helmet this year.  You are such a good girl, that I think you just might get it!

... Other things that you doing now are:

• Counting. You love to count.  You can easily count all the way to up to 20!!  You count food, Little People, body parts, people, you name it, Quinn counts it!
• You really have a handle on your colors & you are quickly learning letters, too.
• We've created a bit of a monster in that you LOVE to jump on Mommy & Daddy's bed while we change our clothes after work.  "I jump, i jump!  I jump high, MommyDaddy!"  The other day you were so insistent on  jumping on our bed - where I had Baby Tait laying - that you went to your room, & pushed Tait's bassinet into our bedroom & said "Put Baby Tait in bassinet, Mommy!".
• You love to go to Starbuck's ("Sar-bux") with Mommy.  You get "chocca meelk" & Mommy gets "La-tay!"  The other day you told me that the Little People in your airplane & a few rubber ducks were going to Starbuck's.  Look at the influence that Mommy has!  LOL
• You love to go "Some-set" (Somerset Collection" to see the Big Ball (giant granite ball with water running under it) & shop with Mommy.  You particularly like the shoe department @ Nordstrom.  So does Mommy. No surprise there.  You've been known to shriek "shooooooooooooooooes!" when we go.  Love it!

We love you so much.  You are such a joy!!!

All my love,
Mommy
