My Little Girl

I can't believe that I am planning Ostara's 2nd birthday already! I still call her my baby and love napping with her and teaching her songs. When my first daughter was two, she was my "big girl." Amazing how relative everything becomes when you know THIS child is your last one. I don't want her to grow up! It's so much fun to have a baby around.

In the next few weeks, I am going to write Ostara a letter about all of her accomplishments this year, so she can have a sense of what she was like a child once she's an old hag like me.

Here's my list so far:
- discovered her shadow when she kicked her feet on the changing table
- finally learned how to crawl on all fours (she scooted her first year)
- copies everything her big sister does
- loves her Sweetheart Toddler Doll
- started to pretend play with her dolls and animals
- can count up to 22 (most of the time)
- loves Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom and Dora the Explorer
- likes to help us cook in the kitchen
- is no longer afraid of swinging or going down the slide by herself
- loves to cuddle and say, "I love you, Mommy" when she wakes up at 6 a.m.

Enjoy,
Rebecca, who is planning a totally over-the-top Dora party!
