1. Esther loves necklaces, hair clips, "pretty dresses," etc. Even though I am not a super girly girl, it is so fun to have another female in the house to share in these feminine things.
2. Esther loves to role play. "Pink baby" and "Purple baby" are her two babies and she feeds them, takes them for rides in the stroller, wraps them up "so snuggly" in her arms, and puts them to bed in their little crib with cozy blankets tucked around.
3.Esther is not limited to traditionally girly roles: yesterday she requested a screwdriver so she could fix a (really) broken toy truck. I got out the toy tools and she spent twenty minutes fixing that truck. I love this girl's imagination--I could watch her play all day.
4. Esther randomly announces things like "I a cat! Mow mow!" or "I a el-phant!" {insert elephant noise--how do you spell such a thing?}
5. Esther does things like put on the tiny yellow glasses and say "I Misser Tato Head gasses!" It's just so cute.
6. Although she is quite comfortable going up and down the stairs, Esther prefers to hold my hand.
7. Esther asks "Where Austin?" a lot while he's at school. After I tell her where he is and that he'll come home at lunchtime, she goes around the rest of the morning saying "Austin come back" (meaning Austin will come back). I love that she misses her big brother!
8. Esther is just as much of a bookwork as Austin. She looks at books on the floor, on the couch, in her bed, and she "reads" them out loud. Her attention span is pretty remarkable for a two year old, I think.
9. When Esther sees the TCU logo (which is pretty often around here) she reads "T-C-U" and then automatically says "Go Frogs!" We're training her up young. :-)
10. Esther often smiles and says "My mommy!" when she sees me, like when she wakes up in the morning or when I pick her up from the playroom at the Y. She is the most snuggly of my children and often burrows into my lap when I'm trying to change her diaper or her clothes. She says "I love my mommy" a lot. I love my Esther a lot, too.
