stinky princess

jenna is my sassy little sweet pea - and we love her grandly.

she turned two at the end of march and is finally talking up a storm. as i type this, she is stuffing "little people" toys into my shirt. my back is beginning to resemble that of the gruffalo (one of our favorite children's books).

not surprisingly, her vocabulary and snuggliness has greatly increased ever since i stopped doing childcare. after two years, she suddenly has her mommy back - 100%. she is my savior, who - without even realizing it - brought me so much comfort during the saddest time in my life. today, she is such a hilarious ball of silly sunshine. i love her dearly.

a moment ago, she crawled onto my lap, generously licked her hand and smeared it all over my arm. "LOTION, mom!!" she exclaimed with sheer delight.

what a ham.

What a sweetheart. :) I can't wait for my Jenna to start talking. But then, if she's like Sydney, she may never stop. Loved this little post about your Jenna.
