getting ready to come see you!

Hi Pumkin!!! Just wanted to let you know how excited I am to come visit. I talk to you almost every day and you are talking in complete sentences. Your mom doesn't have to translate anymore. Yes, sometimes you call me to brag about using the potty like a big girl. Grama is so proud of you! I have been busy trying to get everything done here in Kansas because I will be staying with you for about 3 weeks!!! You and I are going to have to plan a 2nd birthday party for you. You are going to have to tell me all of your friends' names, so we can invite them to your party. We will probably have in the party room at your house or maybe at the family place you and your mom go to have play dates. See you real soon and I love you dearly!

I just had to write about your potty training progress. You've been using your big girl potty for weeks now and are doing a fantastic job. You have even gone poop on the potty twice in the last week!! We are so proud of you. You tell us when you need to go and when we're out in public, as long as we have your portable Dora potty, you'll use a public restroom. You get homemade popsicles, frozen fruit, or a Starburst when you go potty. When you go poop you get a fruit snack. You clap for yourself every time you go on the potty and want to go tell whomever will listen that you used the potty. You've started watching a few videos recently. They include Blues Clues, Muzzy, and of course Elmo and Baby Einstein. They are all entertaining to you and you like to switch it up. Grama is coming out to visit you in about a week so I'm sure you'll be having much more fun soon. You've been a little depressed because Pippa hasn't been around very much. Her mom just had her baby a week ago and things have been hectic for their family. You actually brought me the telephone today and asked to call Pippa. She wasn't home but she called you back in the afternoon and you two chatted for a few minutes. Of course it was adorable. Hopefully you will get to see her this week. We've been gardening a lot and you love to pick the cherry and grape tomatoes off the vine and eat them as well as the blackberrries. You are starting to put your own shoes on and can take off most of the clothing items. You can also pedal a tricycle now, better backwards than forwards but that will come. I just wanted to give an update to what you are doing now and let you know how proud of you we are!

Love you.
