You are so precious to your Mommy. I love every waking second that I get to spend with you. You make Mommy laugh and smile. You are a delight to be around. Someone asked Mommy while we were in West Africa to describe you and I told them that you had a very sweet spirit but, boy, oh boy, you were unlike your brother and sister and you loved to "get into" things. One day, back in January of 2010 when you were nearing 2, we were just having a normal day playing and laughing and Mommy invited some friends over to her house to eat for lunch while we planned some things for Daddy and Mommy's LifeGroup at church. You took a nice long nap and woke up to play and decided to "get into" Sis's lip gloss and smear it all over your face and clothing. Mommy cleaned you all up and put nice new fresh clothes on you. Within 10 minutes you found a marker and put dots all over your cheeks and nose. While Mommy was finishing up homework with Bub and Sis I asked you to take the napkins that were in the bonus room leftover from lunch to the trash. You looked at me and graciously picked up the napkins and started walking down the hall trying to find the trash can. Bub was in 3rd grade and he had lots of math homework so Mommy and him were diligently working and focused on multiplication. In a few minutes, we heard you talking and jabbering away so Mommy didn't worry about you. After Bub's homework was complete I asked him to check on you and boy, oh boy did he ever find you!!! You, mister monkey, had climbed from the potty to the sink with napkins in hand, unscrewed the lid off the liquid soap, and dumped it all over you and the sink and the floor. Bub was quite shocked as he said, "Mommy we have a problem in the bathroom".
Mommy rushed into the bathroom to find your sweet green-dotted face in the bathroom sink enjoying and exploring soap. You are a delight to Mommy and I will miss all your adventures one day so, for now, I will enjoy every second of you, even if you are a soapy, glossed, and green-markered babe. Until next time...I love you Little E
