NO! NOT YOU!!!!!!

You cry almost every single night.  Sometimes you have a bad dream, sometimes you have to go potty, sometimes you just wake up and don't want to be alone.  Usually I go to you, but sometimes I am so tired I ask Dad to go and try to calm you down or bring you to me.  And it just goes to show how tired I am because it NEVER works, at least not at first.  Every single time he comes in to you, you FA-REAK out and SCREAM..."NOOOOO! NOT YOUUUUUU!!!"  followed by, "I WANT MOOOOMMY!!!!!!!"  It makes me laugh to think about.  Sometimes it makes me laugh right then and there and I can then gather the strength to come put an end to your madness   Poor dad.  He's a good sport about it though, really.  I think I would be quite miffed at you if I were him.  But he gets it; you is MY girl!

Brynners you are just soooooo cute and funny right now!  I am LOVING you at 2 and 1/2!

We have started to be able to put cutie pie pig tails in your hair.
You usually only hang with them for a few hours then you insist on pulling them out and it gives you the CRAZIEST hair.  You feel beautiful 100% of the time no matter what directions you hairs are going, what's stuck all over your face, or combination of stripes, polka dots, or characters you're wearing.  You are you and you're completely unique and WE LOOOVE YOU!!!!

A cute bikini we ended up taking back b/c it had a hole in it, but man you were ADORABLE in it!

A favorite thing we do now is go swimming at the Rec Center.  I work out for an hour and you and Baylor go to the childcare (Play Center we call it).  Then I take you guys swimming.  Oh we have fun. I love it!!  We have a great little routine.  First we swim together in the big pool.  You guys wear floaties and practice  "scoop and kick, scoop and kick", jumping into me, and motorboat.  Then after about 20 minutes we jump in the lazy river and play "tag you're it", then we do the logs, which I hold your hand as you walk across, you might then play in the kiddie pool, then you dry off and wait for me while I hop in the hot tub for a couple minutes.  You guys like to watch me get blasted by the jets and you like to have me scoop up the hot water in my hands for you to touch.  We head home, watch Caillou have grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, and I clean up then we get sisters from school and its been a day!
Simple and sweet!  I love you sooooo much!  I love spending our days together...and nights!  ;)
