25 Months of Pure Joy...

Tatum Bug is 25 Months Old...and counting...
Dear Princess Tatum,
You are the joy of our lives. :) We have so much fun with you, and love every minute of you.
Some of the new things you have started since turning 2 are:
1. Started loving baby dolls. You pack these little babes around non-stop! You have 3 now, and you keep them all naked, at all times. I thought it was odd at first, but you tell me they aren't cold. "no baby cold. nope." is usually what you say. Sometimes you will tell me baby is cold and ask me to put their "jammies" on. You push them in the stroller, give them binkies, and bottles. It's very sweet watching you rock them and sing them lullabies. You're such a good little mommy! :)
2. You talk more and more every day! Some of my favorite things you have said lately: "of course" when daddy asked you to do something, "nope, yep, nope" when I ask you questions, and you repeat EVERYTHING we say! It's very sweet.
3. Just this last week or so you have been so cuddly. You run up to me as fast as you can and squeeze my leg with both arms as tight as you can! It's the sweetest thing. And sometimes you just run up and put your arms around my neck and squeeze. YOu do this to Daddy too and he loves it! When I'm not at your level, you say "Mommy pick you up" which tells me you want me to pick you up so you can hug on me. I cherish these hugs so much, and I think you are the best hugger around. You certainly learned that from Daddy & Nana GG!
4. You still love your chickens! Every night after school, we come home and you run as fast you can to see your "girls." We gather eggs and you hold the basket for a few minutes before saying "Daddy hold this, my run" and then you take off running back to the house. When we eat eggs you tell us they are "blondies eggs" or "spaz eggs" and Mommy tells Daddy it's wierd to hear you talk abou the eggs that way. :)
5. You still love to read, read, read! A lot of your family loves to read, but your Grandma Gail has been running a library for years! There was no chance you wouldn't love books! It's so neat when I tell you to go play and I find you reading a book to yourself. You can read the whole Goodnight Moon book on your own!
6. Prayers...you say them every night, blessing every person you know, including all your daycare friends! It's very sweet listening to you bless everyone that you love so dearly.
7. You have picked up calling me "mother" somedays. It's so random, you will just call me "Mother." Hilarious, though.
These are only a few of the adorable things that you do. We love watching you, listening to you, and learning from you. Thank you for being so awesome, Tatum.
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
