26 Months!

Dear Jameson,

Hello my sweetheart!  Oh boy I haven't written to you in a while.  You sure do keep Mommy busy!
You've had a couple of colds from hell lately, but I think you're finally over it.
You're almost potty trained!!  You are only in diapers for night time and naps (and poopies).  The first time you peed in the potty was almost a month ago I think, you went on the big toilet after we let you run around 'peepee tail' for a while and sat you on the toilet and you went!  We started a sticker chart, and give you 2 M&Ms, but honestly at this point you don't really care about the reward anymore, it's just what you do!
You're eating better and better.. granted it's been a challenge with your colds but now you're actually eating these fruit/veggie pouches, AND you're eating your vitamins!  Might be able to stop your pediasure soon (yay!).
We had your 2 year appointment and you were 32 lb (but I think that was 'off', they weighed you with your clothes and diaper on, and 35.5 inches!  Big boy.
You're talking a ton, singing songs, you finally have your colors down pretty good.  Everything used to be blue or green, but now you're getting it!
You are the sweetest little person I know.  You want to hug, kiss, and talk all the time.
Geeze I can't even think of the things you say but let me try to hit on some of the faves:
"Comango!" I have no idea what this is, it's your own funny word.. you say it all the time
"Hello mommy!" You walk up to me and just look up so sweetly and check in with me, all day.
"I'm sorry.." You say it SO sweet it almost breaks my heart
"Sweetie Baby Mommy" You called me that one day, my heart melted
You can sing the Wonder Pets song, Little House in the Middle of the Woods, Barney song, Ring around the Rosie, Hickory Dickory Dock, and you say your ABCs like "ABCDEFG YAY!!!!" or "ABC NUMBER 2 YAY!!".
You're sleeping really well, usually through the night other than these colds that make you cough, or if you potty through your jammies.
We're still going to My Gym, we've also started going to a place called Lil Monkey Bizness, an indoor playground for toddlers.  You get to draw and paint there in the art room, too.
We took you to TRex Encounter, you love dinosaurs.. you were a little scared, but fascinated at the same time.
You're wearing size 7 shoe and 3T clothes.
You have big boy undies! The first ones you got had trucks and cars or stripes on them, now you have som GO Diego GO undies w/ dinosaurs and some Thomas the Train ones.. you're not a huge fan of wearing them, you'd rather be naked.
We don't give you Mac n Cheese anymore.. you're doing well with that.
You still have your pacifiers, and you're in love with them.  Only in your crib or mommy and daddy's bed.
Speaking of that, laying in our bed is your new favorite thing.. I think you could lay there and watch TV and roll around and play all day long!
You're running and climbing really well.  You're just perfect, seriously.
I am so lucky that I have you in my life.  You teach me how to be a better, kinder, funnier and stronger person every single day.  I'm amazed at the depth of your little being, how thoughtful and complex you are.  You're my life's treasure, every single day I am so excited to see you again when I wake up, like when I was little and I knew that Santa had visited and left me my favorite things to enjoy, times a million.

I love you my prince,

Love Mommy
