Dear Jordan,
You make a super cute hot dog. Your Mimi bought you the costume to wear to Trinity's Fall Festival. I had a back-up costume planned just in case you didn't want to wear the hot dog, but I think you had too much fun to even notice it! From the second we got there, you were on the move. You sat through the very first part of the costume contest and then moved on to the Toddler bouncy area. Then you ate about a hot dog and a half and then half of Grandma Nietzie's cookie. We tried to play some games, but you got tired and so only got two pieces of candy! Finally, you wanted to jump in the big kid's bouncy house. You kept saying "jump, jump" until I let you go. I thought you wouldn't last long, but you I had to force you out to let the other kids have a turn!
Last weekend, we went to Shawnee to visit Mimi. You walked into her house like you own the place. I love how much you love being over there. I remember my grandparents' houses being so special! I might remember more about them than I did my own houses I lived in! You are such a blessing to your Mimi. She loves you so much and you bring so much joy to our family.
Eating out with you has gotten tough. You NEVER sit still unless your eating. So if we take you to a place where we have to wait for food, it's pretty miserable. We went to McAlister's last night. I went to go get a straw and you were sitting in the booth with your dad. By the time I came back, you had climbed over the booth and had dumped the little container with all the sugar packets. Your dad was trying to hold you down and clean up at the same time. It's a bit of a challenge, but you're not obnoxious about it. You just never stop moving!
This weekend was Daylight Savings time. Hopefully, by the time you read this, this will be no more. I used to love it. I like this time of year so the fact that it's darker earlier just means more time to see Christmas lights. Plus, you get an extra hour of sleep the night it switches over. Well, now that I'm a mom, it's a little different. Actually, no, it's terrible! You think you need to wake up at 5:30 every morning. Two nights ago you woke up at 3:30! I'm super tired. However, I kind of knew how bad it would be, so I have my friends praying for patience. I know their prayers are helping and I've tried to make an effort to be mindful of my attitude. This really is just a season. You keep getting bigger and bigger and will never be my sweet, little 20 month old again!
One last story...a new game we play. Every time I say "Night, night" you lay down your head, wherever you are. When I say "Good morning!" you pop your head up...grinning the whole time! It is so cute!
Well, speaking of sleep issues...you're up waaay too early from your nap. I can tell it's too early because you are really, really mad! Time for me to put that patience into practice!
I love you, little man!
