The Tommy Chair - Antique White

almost two is so many things but I couldn’t love this stage more. a few things I never want to forget… • “I dood it myself” • her exclaiming “OH MY GOSH” for even the most minor inconvenience or mishap like her shoe strap not going on right when she puts her shoes on herself or her band aids fall all over the place when opening the getwelly container • her affinity for said band aids • her “cheersing” at every opportunity… coffee in the AM (oat milk over ice with organic cinnamon powder for her), wearing sandals together, eating a meal together, you name it, we cheers it • her counting to ten for the first time on our way to Palm Desert for our first family vacation • her clacking around in my heels • random “kiss” & “and hug” whether it’s playing outside, across the dinner table or just walking by while playing • her sweet pronunciation for words.. “lawn monet” for “lawn mower”, “pop-sick” for “popsicle”, “poi poi” for “rolly pollie” • when daddy says “guess what” she always responds with “daddy loves you!” 🥹 and he says “how do you know?!” and she goes “I’m so smart!” • thinking any man, of any age, with a beard is “Santa” • can’t ever forget “rock shoe”… her immediate exclamation for when a pebble or dirt from the DG in our backyard gets in her shoe • her signature busy girl walk like she owns every place she sets foot in • her unbridled joy • and lastly… the toddler snuggles I get to soak in after bath or post-beach (the best) almost two is so special. #motherhood #sloanejamesbeckley #temecula #girlmama
