Aysia singing

Aysia, you have the sweetest singing voice! And you love to sing...

You listen to songs carefully, and then start singing them as soon as you know some of the phrases. Most of the words are wrong at first, but you get the sounds right, and keep listening and singing. You have a great feel for the tones, and can really carry a nice tune (unlike your mom!!). This morning you were singing Humpty Dumpty and it sounded so sweet!

I love that you sing!

Aysia the girly-girl

Well, maybe not completely, but we went to a bday party yesterday at a beauty salon, and you got hair glitter, a tiarra, a heart on your cheek, and your nails done! Yellow polish with glitter. you sat there s cute with your hands out an let them paint your nails. i was so surprised. It was adorable! You really had a good time at the party, and I thought it would be too old for you. Silly me!

You also had a great time playing with all the older girls afterwards at the house. It was nice to see you interacting and doing so well with them. A little tussling, but nothing too bad.

Tyler- a little peek

I went to the doctor today and got an ultrasound - got to peek in on you. Although because you're so big now, it's hard to see you. The doc had to point out your head, heart, legs, etc. But I could see your heart beating, and I can feel you moving all the time. :)

Aysia high tech!

So, this morning as we were getting ready to leave, you were playing with my ipad. Of course, you totally know how to use the icons, get to where you want, play videos, etc. but you also know how to play Angry Birds. It's so funny! And you cleared several levels this morning. You are too funny!

Aysia and school

Sigghhh. You have been getting so clingy and upset at school dropoffs lately. Even before moving from toddler to two's, you have not wanted to let me go, heading into a full blow cry-fest, holding onto my legs... the teachers have to pick you up so I can leave. It breaks my heart. :( I hate to leave you but I have to go to work.

I wonder if it's the new baby coming that's making you insecure? Or maybe just this age? Some of the other moms say the same thing, so I'm hoping it's just a phase.

Meanwhile, I absolutely love your new two's teacher. She is very motivated and energetic, she also doesn't believe in sugar, juice, etc., and she has a lot of good structure and activities in the class. You also now go to the big playground, and get to go to old town at the end of the day which you LOVE. So I know the school day is a positive thing for you, but the dropoffs are so hard. I hope it gets easier for you

Aysia on the phone

On Saturday, you had your first real phone conversation! And it was with me :) You were with daddy and I called. he put the phone on speaker, and we exchanged about 3 or 4 sentences. Daddy didn't have to prompt you or translate for you. It was pretty cool!

Aysia's 2 year doctor appt

You were great at the doctors! You actually like going to the doctors and want them to look at your eyes, ears, mouth (and toes!). No crying, no squirming, it's great. And it helped this time that there were no shots!

Here are your stats:

Height - 33.5" (50%)
Weight - 28.5 (75%)

Growing right on track and very healthy!

The doctor was very, very impressed with all your talking. She commented about your full sentences, and that you talked about using the potty. You had her laughing! People notice how smart you are pretty quickly, it's really great to see. You are very talkative and very expressive. I love it!

You also had a first in the waiting room. They have a lot of toys there, and you wanted one that another girl was playing with. I told you to say to her - can I have a turn please? You were hesitant, but you did it, very shy-ly, and she said ok and gave you a turn. That was great! And it happened again, I told you to ask, and it worked again. I was very proud of you!
