Sweet and spunky Cassidy, my second born. She is a two and a half year old bundle of fun and excitement. There is so much to say about her. Here are some of my favorite things:
1. She does not smile in pictures. You can follow her for days with a camera and never get a smile out of her. It is odd how her personality completely changes when a camera comes out. The picture above is the best I could do. This is her "smile face".
2. She is very smart, and she learns something new every day. She is speaking in full sentences now. She can express herself clearly. She can recite her ABC's, count to 15, and sing numerous songs (Jesus Loves Me, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Wheels on the Bus).
3. She is a Daddy's girl. She always wants to know where her daddy is. I love that she calls him "Da Da". And, sometimes she calls him "Michael". However, she still doesn't mind being mama's baby. When I ask her, "Where's mama's baby?" She points to herself and says, "me."
4. She has the sweetest, most tender voice you have ever heard. I love some of the things she says. She says "my" instead of "I". So, she will say, "My going to eat, My hungry, My take a bath." Very cute.
5. She loves her blankie. She always has a pink blankie with her. She uses it to rub her nose and face when she is trying to go to sleep. She puts it between her toes. And, she loves the taggie on it. She has slept with a blankie since she was born, and I don't think she will stop anytime soon.
6. She loves her big sister very much. It is so neat to watch the two of them together. She likes to follow "Mani" and imitate what she does. She loves to play with her and hug her. They have such opposite personalities, but they play so well together.
7. She is already assertive. She is almost bossy in a way. She tells you exactly what she wants. She tells you where to sit and how to play. We are working with her on manners because she can come across as demanding.
8. She is hilarious. What a personality and sense of humor. She has been telling knock knock jokes for months. Although they don't make sense, they are funny. Here is my favorite:
Knock Knock
Who's There
Cuz
Cuz who
Then, she laughs hysterically.
9. She loves to play chase and hide and seek. She is always saying, "Get me know." And, boy can she scream when you chase her. She also loves to hide. She likes hide and seek, but she also hides anytime the garage door goes up so she can jump out and surprise you. She is also a dare devil that likes to jump on the couch and the bed. I am sure she will have the first broken arm or stitches.
10. She loves to hug and kiss everything. Her love language is physical touch. Any time she sees
something she likes she says, "Touch it; Hug it; Kiss it" Some things are okay to hug and kiss, but not all things. She also loves to hug and kiss people that are important to her. She kisses on the cheek, never the lips. Her hugs and kisses are so soft and sweet. And, she still lets us rock her sleep at nap time and bed time.
