Two quick things

Dear Libby,
I totally forgot to mention in my letter yesterday- you pooped on the potty for the first time a few days ago! You haven't even peed on the potty, but you pooped! I could tell you were going to need to poop soon, so I set you on the potty, and you just did it. Amazing. You've yelled "poo poo!" a few times since, and have taken me by the hand and dragged me to the bathroom, and you've sat there for awhile, but nothing's happened again since. But, I'm so proud of you, and I know you'll get it soon!

Last night, you crawled out of your crib. So... life as I know it is over. Ha! Liam NEVER did that. I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to still be sleeping in a crib if I let him! You stinker! All of a sudden I realized you were banging on the door. You tried to climb out two more times overnight, so this morning Daddy converted your crib to a toddler bed. I am soooooo not ready for this!

You're a stubborn and strong-willed little thing, but man, do I ever love you.

Love,
Mommy

My poor little sicky

Dear Libby,
You have been SO sick! Last week, I had to take you to the doctor for croup. We had a few really scary nights! You couldn't breathe, and had to sleep sitting up in the recliner with me or Daddy. The doctor appointment was horrible- they had you do a nebulizer treatment, and you went INSANE. I've never seen anything like it. You acted like a wild animal. It was so hard to try to hold you for it. It made me cry. Then you were on steroids for a few days afterwards, and they made you completely crazy too. It was like you couldn't even control your body- you would hit me and just fling your body around. It was terrible. I hate to see you in pain!

You've also been teething hardcore. You take your pacifier and hold it and turn it sideways and gnaw away at it. I'm scared you're going to bite the tip off! You got a new tooth on top a couple weeks ago, and I think the same one on the other side must be coming in too. You still only have 11 teeth! I have no idea how you eat as well as you do with so few teeth.

Your vocabulary continues to grow and grow. At daycare, they oftentimes tell me that you never speak there. I don't think they believe me when I say that you know LOTS of words! You need to speak up and make yourself heard!

I love you, sweetheart.

Love,
Mommy
