I'm so grateful

I can't believe you are almost 2 years old. You will be 21 months old on Dec. 4th! You are learning so many new things every day - it truly amazes me. I can barely keep up. I mean you pretty much know how to operate the DVD player already! I am so grateful for having you in my life. You have made everyday wonderful and challenging.
We had such a fun week together even though we were all sick. I don't remember getting sick so often, but with you and your day care germs I have already gotten really sick twice this fall. Both times around holidays - well- if you count Halloween as a holiday, which I do. And it is one of my favorites! ok -off the point - I was home with you for 8 wonderful days over the last 9 days! You were sick and then I got sick and then dad got sick. It is good when dad gets sick because then we get to see him more. He actually took off a lot of days this week. He was home Thursday for Thanksgiving and then for part of Friday, most of Saturday, and all day Sunday. Dad never stays home that much. He usually works 6 days a week and sometimes 7! So I think you enjoyed the time off immensely. We took naps everyday and watched movies. We watched the Lion King with Aunt Vicky on Saturday night. We also took the dogs for a long walk in Battlefield park. On Sunday, your dad and I took you to Maymont Park. It was the most beautiful day. You loved seeing the goats and feeding the roosters. You discovered very quickly that the roosters could take one grain out from between your two tiny little fingers without nipping you in the process. You are fearless with animals. We saw the bears, bobcat, and the two grey foxes. All of them were enjoying the beautiful day. I think you were most impressed with the big koy fish. They were about as big as you. We climbed up a lot of stairs, strolled down along the hills, and watched the sun set. It was an absolutely breathtaking day and I had the best company.
