Dear Sarah,
Miss Independent has arrived! You are so intent on doing things your way, on your own. Food can no longer be spooned into your eagerly waiting mouth; you must hold the spoon. You point to the food and then point to your tray. You want to put your shoes on and take them off by yourself. You open the closet and point to the outfit of your choice...or drag it from the drawer and toss it on the floor. Control, control, control.
Another important skill you have developed for mealtimes is joining your family in prayer. You clasp your hands together and beam as Max recites the blessing. You nod your head along with the prayer and then clap when it is finished. Hooray for God!
The constant sound of an engine pervades our home. Mommy calls it your motorboat noise, but Daddy believes it sounds more like an airplane. The "phfffffphffffffphfffff" erupts when you are frustrated. Or hungry. Or in the car. Or you needs aren't being met quickly enough. Or when you think something is funny. Basically any time is an appropriate time for the motorboat!
Sarah, you love animals! The kitties are your favorite, but dogs receive an excited reception as well. You adore "Big B" (Baxter) at Mimi's house, Beau at Grandma Beau's (hence the name) house, and any dogs who walk past us. Stuffed animals are the lucky recipients of your caring nature, too. You love to snuggle them and take care of them. Jumping into a pile of stuffed animals is a favorite pastime!
An outside girl at heart, you will go to the door and beg to venture out. When it rains, you gaze at the porch with the saddest expression. You often look out the door and then go get your shoes - you really don't need any words to get that point across!
We love watching you develop and become an amazing little person!
Love, Mommy
