Aoewyn -- you continue to really develop into such a kind and sweet little
girl. I have to acknowledge that as a
parent, with three kids, it's hard to keep up to the same level as when I had
only one child and then two children! So
when you're reading this years later -- know that I apologize for this -- but
it's so hard to write as often as I would have liked and you would have
deserved. Generally, you continue to
grow in your knowledge and personality.
You're such a kind and sweet little girl. You love your clothes and like to pick out
what you are going to wear in a day. You’ve
really gotten into make-up – following in your mom’s footsteps. This involves grabbing tubes of lipstick and
applying it over and over again (remarkably accurate actually). You also love to wear mommy’s necklaces now
and wear one almost every day. Just
recently, daddy bought mommy a mother’s day necklace and you wanted to wear it
so badly! You love to cuddle on mommy
and daddy's lap and still are a big fan of the princess gowns that we have
bought for you. Your favorite TV show is
“sofia the first” – and you told us the other day that when you grow up you
want to be a princess. You’re truly the
princess of our family and we are so fortunate to have you as our
daughter.
When you get upset -- you says "X has hurt my feelings", whether
X is mommy, daddy, Rohin or Talin. But
you forgive quickly! You definitely do
not like being forced to do things -- so we try to work to help you want to do
things on your own. One of the things
you like to do yourself is to pick out your own clothes. You can even change yourself now. I’m astounded at just how fast you learn
things Aeowyn. For your age, you are
very advanced. In your language, your
expressions – it’s really fantastic.
Your teacher is amazed as well and noted how you could work with putting
a rainbow puzzle together all by yourself, which is incredibly difficult to
do.
In terms of funny stories – of course you fetish with lipstick and with
nail polish gets you in trouble. Lots of
tubes of lipstick on things – shirts, floors, etc… Recently, you spilled nail polish on the
carpet – so we have a nice bright red spot on our tan carpet (soon to be
replaced). Of course, you can paint your
own toe nails and finger nails – which you love to do. You also seem to not like pony tails and just
want your hear out of your eyes.
At night time, you love to ask mommy to sit down for a couple of minutes –
which is the new ritual after reading books and prayer time. Also Aeowyn, you’re already starting to learn
to swim and go into the pool with daddy – so amazing! One other cute story is your little doll
(blonde princess). You call her your
darling and talk about how you are going to share things for her or give her
things.
Another fun thing that we did recently was to visit Hershey park with some
of our friends. We drove up on a
Saturday night and checked into a hotel (Hershey lodge). We had such a great
time. We checked-in and then went over
to the park and rode the carousel, balloon ride, a bee ride, a mini-carousel
(multiple times – your favorite), a truck ride and then also you rode with
mommy in the race car ride. After a really
fun day in the park, we went back to the hotel and crashed. The next morning we went out for lunch and
then went over to the chocolate factory. You really loved the ride that
explained how chocolate is made and then we went to a 4D movie, which was a detective
story. You and Talin didn’t like it so
much and for days have talked about how the bad man sprayed us with
chocolate!
We love you and look forward to you turning 3 – when we travel to india!!!
