Bethany the talking girl

Oh Bethany, you are such a fun girl! You are talking and talking all the time now and have such a fun, enjoyable personality. We can't help but smile and laugh at the things you say and do. You are now 27 months old and getting closer to 2 1/2. You are very good at going potty and poopy in the toilet at home and at Koala Bear and love that you get skittles, jelly belly's or other fun treats if you are successful! I think you wonder why mommy and daddy don't get "poopy prizes" because every time we come out of the bathroom you ask if we want a jelly belly or whether we went potty or poopy. Very different conversations with 2-year-olds coming out of the bathroom than it is with my co-workers!

You are so sweet to your sister and love doing tummy time together or laying next to her. One time when we were cuddling in bed as a family you said, "April is next to me, Mommy is next to me, Daddy is next to me!"

Little sayings or expressions are something you pick up easily. Today when I noticed water on the floor and was cleaning it up, you exclaimed "There is water EVERYWHERE!"

You LOVE Wheel of Fortune. We don't watch a ton of tv, but your favorites right now if they are on are Wild Kratts, Curious George or The Cat in the Hat in the morning, Clifford the Big Red Dog during lunch and Wheel of Fortune during dinner. Today was Saturday and when we were making lunch you asked to watch "Cwiferd! the big RED DOG!" When I told you he wasn't on today and was taking a break, you asked if he needed a time out or was sleeping :)

When you stayed at Grandma and Papa's while we went to Miami for my work meetings you built a snowman but because of the warm weather the head fell off. When you got home you told us that the "Snowman had a headache! His head fell down!"

We love you Bethany Claire Totman and think it is so fun you love to tell people your whole name! You also know mommy, daddy and April's whole names and are working on your other friends and families middle and last names too. I think it is fun you can recognize letters, you know B, D, H and A for all of our first names and sometimes recognize others too (like O). You are a little smarty pants!
