All Grown Up

I woke up this morning to find my husband and daughter shaving in our bathroom. Her daddy even helped her apply some shaving cream so she didn't get razor burn from my hair clip! I've been thinking a lot lately about how grown up Betsy is. In a few short months she will be turning two but it feels like she's so much older than she is! She already can tell me when she doesn't feel good, like over the weekend she held her left ear and said "ear hurts". She knows all the major body parts and loves to point them out to me on her stuffed animals. Her favorite book isn't a cute little baby board book, it's 'If you Give a Pig a Pancake'. When it gets dark out she loves to take me to the window and show me the moon and stars. She loves the movie Cars and will actually sit down and watch most of it, especially if she has her blanket and a good snack. She role plays everyday, cooking in her kitchen and playing mommy to her dolls. She tells me that "daddy is at work, home later."  The other day she made me put a diaper on her elmo and cubby dog because they "poop, uck". Not to mention that she already knows the colors blue, green, and pink. She asks me to paint her toes so she can have "pretty toes". I could go on and on here but it just seems that she does something new every day to amaze me, she's just so far ahead of herself. It makes me a little sad to think of how quickly she has grown in just two short years. I don't think my baby boy could be coming at a better time, I'm missing all the baby stuff!
