Violet is 2 years old if you can believe it.
she opened her present from her brothers first thing in the morning. here she is showing off the treasures she found inside her new purse.
playing with her new little people dollhouse.
we carved pumpkins after dinner and here's our one group shot as we began--doesn't everyone look so happy to be smiling for the camera?
the day after we had a little celebration with cake and balloons
i know her cake is pretty pitiful but i didn't have a theme in mind and she loves suckers. the girl can blow out candles faster than you can light em!
like i said, suckers are her favorite
i love my little violet. she is truly the greatest. she is the most brutely little lady around. she loves pretty things and baby dolls but doesn't hesitate to make any object into a weapon and yell, "i fight you!" unlike her brothers at her age, she is feisty and assertive- she will scream at malcom "be nice to me!" if he isn't. i love how she says my name at least twice in every sentence..."mom, i'm hungry,mom." "mom, which one you yike, mom? you yike dis one, mom?" she answers, "i'm not" to any idea that doesn't sound good. whenever she tells me she's hungry and i ask her what she'd like, she almost always says, "fruit snacks and chocyet". once she told me she wanted "fruit snacks and chocyet all day. dist kidding mom." violet is genuinely funny and makes a variety of crazy faces. she has the best lisp ever and she wants to do everything by herself. she is a champ at i spy books and knows all the characters on mario kart and the names of the courses (she's good at remembering names altogether). when something is bugging or itching her (like a tag in her shirt or elastic in her hair) she accuses a ladybug of doing it. she loves playing the i'll save you game (she pretends to see a spider or ghost and then grabs onto me and says, "i will save you, mom!") she is a daredevil, she calls her baby "my fweetheart" and i love when she introduces herself- "hi, i'm by-yet". she loves jumping, dancing, and singing. she likes to remember things even if they didn't happen, "rember that, mom?" and my favorite is when she'll say, "i want to kiss you, mom" out of the blue because i always want to kiss her too.
