Jordyn: My Shining Star!

I always try not to brag about my kids. While it is so easy as a mama to talk about your kids, it isn't always pleasant when you are on the receiving end. Some people just go on and on about their children and after a while it gets a tad old.

However, a blog is somewhere where you are allowed to be completely honest and open and I feel like if someone chooses to read this post then they can also choose to stop reading it haha.

So here goes it-

I have an amazing 2 1/2 year old daughter. I have always known since Jordyn was born that she was special (as I am sure all parents do about their kids) but as time has gone on I have realized it more and more. She has especially grown in the past 8 months or so.

Her vocabulary is ridiculous. I can have full on conversations with her. No more words here and there. No more broken sentances. An actual conversation. We talk about her days at daycare. We talk about the dreams she has at night- although I am not always sure those actually exist. And most recently we talk about Christmas and what she is going to ask Santa for.

She is insanely independant. In the mornings I lay out her clothes and she gets dressed all by herself. I still tie her shoes but hey, we are learning. She goes to the bathroom all by herself. She brushes her teeth all by herself. Last  night she told me she needed to get something out of her room. After a few minutes she came back downstiars and had gotten ready for bed. She changed out of her clothes from the day, put them in her hamper, got her pajamas out and changed for bed. When I saw this I couldn't help but tear up. I thought to myself, "Where is my baby?". While it is a little sad on one hand, on the other I couldn't be more proud.

We sing songs together.

She counts for me.

She knows her colors and shapes.

She knows her animals and their sounds.

I feel like every day I become more and more amazed by her. Yes, she is almost three and yes, she gives me a run for my money almost every day. But I wouldn't change a thing about her. With her engergy comes her smarts. With her sassiness comes her personality.

My sweet baby girl- one day old.

Getting bigger and brighter each and every day.

I can not wait to see what the future holds for Jordyn. But one thing I know is that she is going to do great things and I am going to be there on the sidelines cheering for her every step of the way.

I love you baby girl!

Keep being you and you will be great! xoxo
