2 1/2 with a baby sister!

Tabby,
  Clearly we have been busy! The last post you had turned 1 and now you are 2 1/2 with a 7 week old sister! Your Dad and I left Chicago for Glen Ellyn in Nov 2015. The congestion and violence were getting to us (especially your Dad) so we headed for greener pastures.
  You recently started preschool at Diamante Montessori in Glen Ellyn 3 days a week. You have a favorite friend named Jack but wow did you not like the first few weeks. You were especially mad at your Dad as he was the one to drop you off, therefore it seemed like he got the brunt of the blame. That was a lot of change at once - new baby, school and Mommy being home (because of the new baby). You have now settled down but you are considering giving up your afternoon nap.
  Your vocabulary and speech are amazing. You constantly amaze with either fun or insightful sentences or by putting together words in your own way. Last night after we left the restaurant with Grandma and Grandpa McKone you were looking for the moon and were excited when you found it.

A few of your favorite things:
-Picking up leaves on walks
-Eating oranges
-My Little Ponies
-Your friend Jack at school (apparently you guys held hands a few days ago!)
-Sitting in Daddy'a lap during Chilly Willy after bath time and before bedtime
-Looking into the reading light in your room during night stories (horrible for your eyes!)

  We are learning so much from you, Tab. I hope we can be the calm, loving, insightful parents that you deserve as you grow into the feisty, smart, independent lady you will be.

Love,
Mom
