The other night I was stripping you down for your bath and when I peeled off your diaper I heard several clanging sounds as several unknown objects quickly fell out of your diaper and rolled across the floor...
You look at me and smile your mischievous "Abe" grin and take off towards the tub. I ask: "Abe?? What was that noise?" as I look around the floor to see what on earth had fallen out of your diaper...
to which you so sweetly reply: "Nuttin, mama...just money for Abe."
Oh my... that story just captures SO much about you right now. We still think of you as our perfect little baby (and you always will be) but you are MUCH more capable than we give you credit for. I have no idea whose piggy bank you pilfered coins from and eventually stuffed down your diaper, but you are quite sneaky, little muffin!
The good thing about being Abe right now is you can pretty much get away with anything. You know we are tired. You know we don't take you quite as seriously (yet...) and you know you can look up at me OR daddy and say "I so so sorry mama..." and whatever you have done will quickly roll off our backs and into a big snuggling hug. You ALWAYS have buddies to play with and I am pretty sure your life is rather entertaining for a two year old.
The tough thing about being Abe right now is that I lament how quickly your days go by without ever receiving one-on-one attention. When its just us at home I am so busy catching up on laundry, cooking, shopping, or cleaning that I rarely just pick you up and snuggle you like I so badly want to.
However, last night, on your second birthday--we got the big kids in bed-- and brought you to the couch with us and daddy and I took turns snuggling on you until late late late. You finally looked up with dreary eyes and said "cwib please, mama..."
Neither daddy nor I wanted to take you to bed. You are SO sweet and we just love you unconditionally. Your favorite things right now are cars, trucks, trains, Alvin and the Chipmunks [you loves screaming 'ALLLVIIIIN', wearing everyone else's shoes, fwench fwies, 'balananananas', playing "honey/sweetie" with Van and Sissy, and loving on your mommy. We hope you had a great birthday!!! Love, Mom
