An Interview with a 2 Year Old!

Brinley Jane,
You are 2 years old! I really cannot believe it, 2 whole years since I met you for the first time. You are a big girl now, no longer a baby at all, but I couldn't be happier. You make me so very proud! Being a Mommy to you has exceeded my expectations and I count my blessings every single day.

singing- Twinkle Twinkle, ABC song, Holy Holy, Jesus Loves Me, The BIBLE, Our God is an Awesome God, and the Itsy Bitsy Spider. I know all the words and motions and I love to sing at the top of my lungs when I am in bed, playing, or just walking down the sidewalk!

Watching TV in Mommy's bed first thing in the morning. I wake up and say, "Get in Mommy Bed?" Then I proceed to ask where my Daddy is, every morning. Sometimes I give him the cold shoulder when he has been gone for a while, but I really love him. What new things have you learned this month?
I can remember my friends names. I meet lots of kids at church that Mommy doesn’t know, and when I see them I call them by name and surprise her! I love my friends!
I am getting good at sorting by color.
I am starting to feel pride in my accomplishments. When I do something on my own I say, “Yay Brinley!”

I now push my hair back out of my face when my bangs aren’t pulled back. Mommy and Daddy think this makes me look so old!
I know how to spell my name!


Have you been in trouble at all?
Well, yes, I am 2 aren’t I? I am told to obey quite a few times a day. I usually comply with the word obey, but some days I am feeling bold and I say NO! I have had a few dates with the sad spoon and a few moments of time out, but I am a pretty good girl.
The thing I know for sure is that I am the worst behaved for my Mommy, and even though it is hard for her, she is glad that I am a good girl when I am at the Y or at church in the nursery. I tried out my crayon on her bedroom wall and that didn’t end well either. I now know we color on paper!
Is there anything you don’t like?
Everyday is different. I can love something one day and hate it the next.
I still get scared of really loud noises like the vacuum, weed eater, and grass blower. I also have not liked going to bed much at all this month. Oh well, at least I have my best lovies.
Precious girl, you have my heart. I love your joy, your passion, your kindness to friends, your excitement about the little things, and your ability to light up a room with just one smile. I pray that God continues to grow you into a sweet and loving little girl. Never forget that you are a treasure in our eyes but more importantly, in God's. I can't wait to see all that He has in store for your little life in the next year and I will thank Him every day for the blessing you are to me.
I love you more than words can express!
xoxo, Your Momma
