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.

Mommy
