Jordyn Marie:
   Today you have been limping on one leg all day. When I ask you where it hurts you just point to a bruise on your leg. You love to watch movies. I bought Tangled today and I'm excited to surprise you and Sydney with it on Friday and have a movie night. You also are becoming really good at coloring. You are so sweet. You always color a picture for someone other than your self. You like to Skype with your cousins. Some articulation errors you have: father is "fader", string is "tring." I'll have to write more as I hear them. I can't think of anything right now. You call McDonald's "chicken nuggets house." You would love it if we went there everyday. You don't call movies by their names only by the main character. You ask "Can we watch Woody (Toy Story), Rapunzel (Tangled), Ariel (Little Mermaid) etc.?"
   Just a few minutes ago, you asked Dad, "Can you bless me....at the temple." You were asking for a blessing.... for your leg. How cute is that?!

This past month you have learned to pray....all by yourself. Tonight you said the prayer. You said, "thank you for mom. The best mom EVER. Thank you for daddy. The best dad EVER." Thanks for making me feel good. I'll have to remember that in 10 years when you're playing the silence game with me and rolling your eyes at me because we wouldn't let you take your cell phone on a family vacation. Actually more like we won't even give you a cell phone at age 13. Today you learned how to flick a spinner on a game. We were playing Chutes and Ladder. You were getting so frustrated that you couldn't get the thing to spin so with some demonstration, practice, and patience, you mastered it. You still don't get the rules of the game, but you can flick the spinner like a big girl.
The other day you cut a piece a paper and said, "look mom a triangle." It was a triangle. Although many times I wonder if you hear me, I'm learning that behind your distraction, you are learning and listening to things I teach you. You also love me reading to you everyday.
