Shows, Living and Life
Lauren,
Right now, you are still loving Tinkerbell but you also love Little Einstein, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins and a little bit of Barney. You used to love love love Yo Gabba Gabba about 6 months ago, but now you're a big girl. You like to dress up in your TinkerBell costume and talk to Mommy's fake orchid plant calling it Baby Tulip and telling it to bloom. You are too cute! You even insisted that Baby Tulip sleep in your toddler bed. Haha.
By the way, there's been some changes to our household. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Grandma and Grandpa are staying with us for now. Grandma is in your room, and you're in my room, and Grandpa is in the nook area, while the dining table is now in the formal living room. You've adjusted to it pretty well and even slept in Grandma's room for the first couple of nights. I know Mommy has your heart, cause soon, you were back sleeping with Mommy. I love you so much. Thank you for being so awesome.
I took you outside to the front of the house when I was there for lunch and you rode your tricycle around the neighborhood. The weather was nice and you're a great rider. You only fell over once! Haha. I love days like these and it makes me working close to home so worth it. I love having you as my lunch buddy.
I'll try to write more often and post more pictures for you. I love you so much and you are telling me that now too. I mean, you've learned how to say it but I know that you really feel it cause when you see me come home, you rush to me and tell me that you love me so much! Awww, melts my heart. I love you always.

Wah!!!
Look at this face. Isn't she precious?!?! The picture is courtesy of Uncle Thi and Auntie Kelly. We were up in Big Bear with the Phanbam in Dec 2013 when Lauren was almost 2.5 yrs old. Not sure why shes crying. I love the picture but Daddy said he didn't like. What do you think?

Update
Lauren,
I'm so sorry it's been such a long time since I last wrote to you. So much has happened and I'm busy living all of these special moments with you.
The biggest milestone since you gave up your bottle when you were 2 is being potty trained. You've been potty trained since January, when you're 2.5 years old. I am sooo proud of you. You kinda just let us know when you were ready. You still prefer to poop in your diaper still but you're doing great. You also wear diapers at night but overall, Mommy and Daddy are so happy you are potty trained.
Now that you're potty trained, I registered you to start preschool in the fall. I meant to register you for summer school too, but I got cold feet. After more thought, I think you're very ready for school. You will be starting on 6/23/14. I got really emotional dropping off your registration packet and thought about how you're growing up so fast. It will be beneficial for you to go to school and learn and play. You'll still get to be at home with your grandma, but you'll also get some schooling done too. I know I'm going to be a mess when the day comes.
You're still in your dance class but we only have 2 more sessions left. You're doing ok in class. You were really good in the beginning but now you don't care to follow instructions so much anymore. It's ok because that's why we have you in the class. I signed you up for swimming next month so that should be fun.
You are talking sooo much! I mean full complete sentences.
Mommy and Daddy are working on your birthday party this summer. You love parties and blowing out the cake so we decided to throw you a party. Maybe next year you'll decide to take a trip instead of having a party, but we'll let you decide.
I love you so much and I promise to write you more often. In the meantime, grow, learn, thrive, be healthy and happy! I love you always.

Cry
Lauren,
I know it's been months since I've written to you but something so magical happened yesterday I keep on replaying it in my head over and over again. I love you so much.
Mommy has been feeling down about not getting pregnant yet, especially yesterday. As I was driving and you were sitting in the back seat, I asked you if you wanted a sibling. You said no. I asked if you wanted Mommy to have another baby. You said no. That's comforting to me right now because I don't want to break your heart if you would've said yes.
When we got home, I somehow managed to break down and cry, with my hands in my face. You weren't quite sure what was going on, but as you lifted my head, you saw that I was crying. Then you said "crying?" I said yes, Mommy's crying. Mommy is sad. You said "no cry" and gave me the biggest smile, tilted your head to the side, and just smiled. Then I grabbed a tissue but you took it from me and wiped my tears away. You just kept saying no crying and hugged me and looked at me with a sweet smile.
That took my breath away. I have you and I am happy. Period.
I love you always.
