21!

Dear Violet,
Today you are 21 months going on 21 years! Not only can you walk in heels, but today you counted to 10 and pooped in the potty! I'm not sure if either of these events are repeatable, but they sure were impressive. We've been reading lots of books about potties (is it a hat? is it a boat?) so I guess you do actually know what it's for. This evening you convinced me to take off your diaper and sat right down and made a poop came out. You cried a little when you saw what came out, I guess it was a little scary to you; mamma cried tears of joy.

We had a great day today. We finally got up at 7am (you were up earlier) and watched a little Elmo so that Mamma (now known as "Mommy") could just rest a little while longer. After eating waffles and fruit, we took a long walk down to the river which is beautiful with daffodils all along its banks. Much to your dismay, we passed the library park on our way, but we ended up at the Hancock street park where we ran into several friends who you were very happy to see. After lunch with our friends you took a 3 hour nap while "Mommy" did dishes, cooked, and preped our bike for the season. When you woke up we went for a bike ride. What a fun day we had!

One of your favorite guilty pleasures these days is watching videos of yourself. You don't quite understand though that to watch videos of yourself, you actually have to take them first. This is why it's so hard to take movies these days:



I love you very much sweet girl,
Mommy
