Pumpkin Carving!

Well since we couldn't make it to the pumpkin carving party yesterday because of the October snow and the messy cold you have, we had our own pumpkin party! (:

Definitely 2!

Oh, Yvette! You are certainly a 2 year old! A darn cute one at that. (: You have become VERY independent and you love to do everything by yourself. You frequently say, "hey, don't help me," and "do byself." You are wonderful with your baby brother, but you are keenly aware of "your" toys that he is not supposed to have or look at. You recently told Grammy that you "wear big girl panties like Trevor." You have discovered that chasing the animals with your baby toy stroller is quite a game...not one enjoyed by both parties. You are becoming familiar with hearing the word "no" when heavy objects fly across the room, when there is high pitch screaming, or the toilet bowl is flushed over and over again. On Tuesdays we go to a Beep Bop class where you jump, dance, and move with other little kids. You weren't too sure about it at first, but now I can't get you off the mats!

Aside from some challenging moments, you are a funny, loving, beautiful little girl that fills our hearts with pride and joy every day. When you tell us "I wove you" and give us hugs, you make even the worst of days seem okay. (:
