The things you say

I can not count the number of times your Bubbie has said to me 'you need to write this stuff down!' when it comes to the hilarious things that come out of your mouth. 

You are a much more physical child than a verbal one. You crawled at six months old but you really have only just started to find your words. Sometimes, you come out with the most hilarious lines, and the fact I haven't been consistently writing them down is a shame. 

My recent favourite was a few months ago already, but so funny that it still comes up whenever the family is together.

You and I have long had this cute thing we do, where we whisper 'I love you' to each other. It's pretty cute, although I think you might have thought for a while that those three words always need to be whispered.

Bubbie and Zaidie were over and daddy told you to tell your Bubbie you love her. So you looked at her and whispered 'I love you.' Bubbie couldn't hear so I told you to say it louder, at which point you screamed 'IT LOUDER.' 

You may be little, but I'm pretty sure you knew you were being funny. If you didn't before, certainly us all breaking down into serious laughter definitely solidified it for you.

My first journal entry

I kept a journal for you throughout my pregnancy, before I knew if you were going to be a boy or a girl, and loved sharing with you all of my thoughts and feelings of the pregnancy and my hope for your arrival and life. But since your birth, life has gotten in the way of sharing the details I really want you to know about your life, and our lives together, as a family.

I've tried buying journals to write things down but I always start and stop and never am able to fully get out what I want to say and what I want to tell you and remember for myself.

Thus, this blog was born. This blog is for you. For you to learn about the person you are and were as you grow into being the amazing adult I have no doubt you will be.

Given that you are just two and a half and just learned your shapes, I know it will be a long while until you're able to read this, but I am worried that I'm going to forget things. The hilarious things you say and do, the sweet, loving and kind things I witness, and I want to remember, and I want you to know.
