What a glorious two years of the delightful Miss Avigail Shiloh!! You've hit the two year mark unscathed, well you are missing a part of your little finger but other than that.. Your all good.. Fit, healthy and fighting strong.
You are now day toilet trained, with outings made with no accidents, although the odd accident when your Papa is around just to make him think otherwise.
You like food. And drinks. And cuddles. And shoes. And being the baby, playing the baby and acting the baby. I watch you being pushed around in a doll stroller and can hardly believe the fact you happily sit in there trusting your older siblings to
Your personality is that of the strong-willed nature with a touch of delightful cheekiness. Two year old development has been kicking in for awhile, getting stronger as time passes. Some times your just a little bit inconsolable but it doesn't last for long.
You know you are loved. It is something that we see that you have no doubts, and looking back through your baby pictures I can see why. You had 3 older siblings who lavished you and still do. And 2 parents who adore you. Your loved.
You can dress yourself from head to toe without help and with getting them on the right ways. And wrong ways.
You still have a day nap!
You will trash your bedroom if the cupboard doors are left open and make your big 5 year old sister cry when you do.
You have been sleeping in your own big baby bed (mattress on the floor) under Amalia's midi-bunk for awhile now but you've grown. Which means when you run to your bed you conk your head! Ouch babe!
Your favourite toys are babies and bags although you are happy to play with duplo blocks and cars also.
Your preferred home school spot is in the second high chair at the school table with us, drawing with textas and on paper. You love drawing!
You can handle conflict with your siblings and even compromise with them. Although you have recently started calling out to the other kids to "share".
Papa still holds your lil delightful heart, you still run to the door when he comes home and watch him do what he does.
You walk around saying "Cuggle" and call me "Mar-mee" actually you are VERY good at speaking and chatter about all sorts of things! You are advanced developmentally and very social, preferring to be in the face of.. well.. mostly me but always someone.
You will often grab my hand to show me something or just use your words or have a mini-tantrum until someone catches on what your talking about.
Overall, your loved.
Love Mum

And here's a story that never got posted dated 11/07/2011
This morning I started up the vacuum cleaner and started vacuuming. We havnt had a vacuum cleaner for a while now after the last one got used too much.
So anyway.
I could hear the faint sound of my lil bubba crying when I looked she was speed crawling towards me, tears in her eyes, terror on her face.
How absurd I thought. She doesn't realise it but she was crawling straight for the noise she didn't like just to be comforted.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that little story so I could remember in times to come.
5 Things I am Thankful for:
1. Life with Miss Avigail
2. Delight & Joy Avigail brings to our lives
3. Loved. Being loved by Avigail
4. That you sleep through the night!!
5. That you day nap happily. Still :)
