Our sweet girl is full of personality. She brings so much joy to our house. She is quite a talker, and she loves to be around others. Her brothers are her best buds. She loves them so much! When she wakes in the morning, she'll say "I wanna check on my brudders." And the past few nights she has asked them if she can go to sleep in their beds with them. "Can I lay down with you?" To her dismay, the answer has been "no". There is plenty of sibling love in this house but at night everyone wants their bed to themselves. However, they don't mind sharing mom and dad's occasionally. :) She is really missing them when they go to preschool. Ever since they started, she has been telling me "I wanna go to preschool, too". Today she even packed her own lunchbox with a snack in it to take with us in the car while we ran errands while the boys were at school. Cutie! :) So she starts MMO one day a week this week. We went last week to meet the teachers and play... she loved it!
Besides playing with her brothers, she loves books and frequently is asking to be read to. A few recent favorites are Pinkalicious, her Eric Carle board books, her Little People School Bus book, Katy Duck, I Love You So, and her book of Nursery Rhymes. She loves nursery rhymes and knows quite a few by heart. She will be playing by herself and reciting nursery rhymes. :) She loves music - singing and dancing - and has begun to request songs to listen to in the car. She loves singing praise songs when Daddy plays his guitar at night and I love hearing her precious voice praise the Lord in song. She also always asks to pray when we finish our family devotions. How sweet to hear a 2 year old voice talking to our Lord!
Ann Evelyn also is loving puzzles these days and has enjoyed coloring and painting, too. She loves playing with her baby dolls, and I think this is so sweet to watch. It's so cute to see her pretend playing - feeding her babies, cuddling them and then putting them to sleep. So sweet. She loves to play dress up, and Forrest loves this, too. They have a lot of fun dressing up together. She has really enjoyed her rocking horse lately, too - especially when pretending to be Jessie the Cowgirl! Overall, if she has someone to play with she is tickled to play whatever - cars, construction, trains, etc!
She is still a big girl - 90th percentile in height and weight. She has been blessed with great health and she is a great sleeper! Praise the Lord!
What a blessing she is! We are so thankful the Lord gave our family Ann Evelyn!
