Brynn is Two

My first born, Brynn turned 2 on Sunday...we had a big party with about 20 little ones and their owners :-)



It was fun, but it was alot of work. Good thing Audreys birthday isnt until October, because I dont think I can throw another party for awhile. Chad turns 30 in June, but all he needs is a big beer and a couple of buddies to shoot the breeze with and he is happy.

My sweet Brynn....um, excuse me.....hold on, she is having a meltdown, I will be right back.....................

1 hour later...

That sucked...where was I? Oh yes, my SWEET Brynn.

Brynn really is a sweet girl. She loves her mommy and daddy and sister dearly. Always willing to give a hug and a kiss on demand, and if you sneeze she will say "you okay?"

Her vocabulary is amazing, her independance is amazing, I don't want to toot my own daughters horn, and be one of *those mommies* but her teacher at preschool was saying how Brynn is more advanced than some of her older 2 year olds in the class as far as vocabulary and other things goes...I of course can't take credit for it, its just how she has developed at her own pace.

She has mainly 2 & 3 word sentences and even a couple 4 word sentences. She knows all of her basic shapes, and even some letters. She doesnt know her colors because she calls all colors "Yellow." She eats beautifully with a fork or spoon and cup. She likes to talk to people on the phone, she also, however, likes to hang up the phone. She can "count" to seven, but I dont think she knows what she is doing other than saying the words in order.

She is nearly fully potty trained, we got home and school down, now mommy and daddy need to get up the nerve to take her out for the day in panties. But I am just really nervous about that. Chad and I said if she can make the whole week at school in panties (we have 2 days down, 3 to go) then we will do it.

She is just a very goofy silly girl. Is very friendly with other children. At school, when I pick her up, she goes around to hug all of her friends, yet doesnt despair if she gets rejected by a grummy toddler classmate, she just shruggs and moves onto the next friend (I have only seen her get rejected once, about broke my heart, but she didnt care)

Ahh yes, but its not all sunshine and lollipops in this Brynns world. And I would only be lieing to myself if I only wrote only the good stuff...so without further ado: Brynns bad side. :-)

She is your typical toddler, thats for damn sure. I would say she started her terrible twos at about a quarter passed midnight of her 1st birthday. LOL!

This girl needs sleep. Just like her mommy, if she is even 30 minutes behind on sleep she will make your life a living hell. She's got a whine that will make your eyeballs jitter, and tantrums that make your house shake.

She is very smart and has plenty of tricks up her sleeve...knows how to get away with stuff with her daddy. I am on to her games, but her dad is just wrapped around that little pinky tight! As i type, an increadibly over-tired Brynn is staying up past her bedtime because Chad fell for the tricks and refuses to listen to me. *rollseyes* He will have to learn the hard way.

But all in all, she really is a sweet girl, with a big warm heart and smile that matches

(although its nearly impossible to catch on camera.)

edited to add: forgot. she is 29lbs. just so I remember to put it in my book :)
