Taylor is almost 2

Where has the time gone? In a little over 3 months Taylor will be 2 and I look at her and she really has grown up so much. Taylor is an awesome little girl. For the most part she listens well, she obeys, she knows right from wrong with most things and if not she learns real quick. Taylor is absolutely the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen. (I mean I am her mom and all but I believe her dad would agree too.)Taylor is no longer in the young toddler class at school. She and her best friend Lucy have moved up to the "young 2's" class. They sit at a big kid table. It is crazy to walk by her room at lunch or snack and see her sitting in a big kid chair eating at the big kid table. I think we are about to have to buy a booster seat for her. She actually fell out of the chair the other day because she was on her knees. Before the teacher could get to her she had already fell and has a little bruise on her cheek and side. Her teacher said she didnt even cry. She is a tough cookie. She fell off the couch not to long ago too and hit the coffee table and was just fine.

Well if you didnt notice I said Taylor has a best friend named Lucy. Lucy is a sweet little girl in Taylor's class and she is actually just a few weeks older than Taylor. I was talking to Lucy's mom the other day and she informed me that Lucy had been calling Taylor on her tinkerbell phone. The funny part is that Taylor calls Lucy on her play phone as well. I think we are going to set up a play date for the two of them because they just seem to "click". Seeing the two of them play together at school and then pretend to talk to each other on the phone is the cutest and sweetest thing I think I have ever seen. Taylor will call some of her other friends but not like she calls Lucy. Lucy's mom and I think a play date would be perfect. Its also another way I can tell my baby girl is growing up.

Taylor is not much of an eater these days. She will eat just not a lot at a time. If i were to give her M&M's all day or chocolate she would eat for sure. Well because she has not really been eating much Clay picked up some of those pediasure sidekicks. The chocolate flavor to be exact. We are hoping this will give her the nutrients and stuff she is not getting enough of. Taylor's face when she took her first sip of it (let me remind you Taylor has never had chocolate milk before that I know of)was priceless. At first she saw it and was asking whats that? So we told her chocolate milk. Taylor says milk? Yes Taylor milk. She takes her first sip and her eyes get big and the straw is still in her mouth but you see this huge grin on her face. Each time she drank the milk it was the same reaction. Almost as if she could not believe she was really drinking something so yummy. Of course her reaction was so great I had to take a sip. If it were not for it being room temp. it would have been great. I should have taken a picture of her drinking it and her reaction and sent it to the company. It was awesome. It tasted awesome to her but it was also like she had just been pumped full of caffine. When she got done with most of it she was wired. Talking nonstop, could not sit steal, yelling, jumping, up and down on the couch and in daddy's chair. This lasted at least 30 minutes and then she crashed. She was laying on one end of the couch and I was on the other. Clay and I decided to only give it to her in the mornings from now on not at night before bedtime. So funny.

We have not started potty training yet. Although we do let her sit on the potty so that she will be use to that when we start. She has never tee-teed in the potty but just the other day she did poo-poo in the potty. I really dont think she understood what she did. Clay gave her a hand full of M&M's :) which I thought was funny because I would have only given her one. I am hoping to start the real deal after her 2nd birthday. I think she will do great with it. At least that is what we are hoping for.

I wanted to mention some ideas for Taylor's birthday and Christmas. I figured it is easier to do it this way rather than telling everyone seperately. So here you go: clothes, shoes, hair bows/ribbons, toddler bed, potty seat and stool, books, educational toys, cd player and cds, of coursse she loves phones, computers, and anything that makes noise. Taylor also likes to help me clean so anything toys that she can use to "clean" while Mommy is cleaning would be great too. This is all I can think of right now if I think of anything else I will post it in the next blog.

I will put pictures in the next blog as well. The computer is not letting me right now.
