Mollie 2.5

Hi  my sweetest little wild child ! Oh how I love you! 

You have been sick the last couple of days.  It is so sad to see my kiddos sick. You have been full of loves and cuddles though and that has been so nice!  As much as I hate to see you sick, it is nice when you slow down and just want to snuggle.  You've just had a little fever and have been really tired.  Other than that I think you're on the mend. 

Yesterday I was in the kitchen cleaning up dinner and you found a pair of scissors somewhere.  The next thing I know you are crying and crying saying, "my hair."  You cut a big chunk right out of the front.  It really wasn't too bad.  It just looks like you have some bangs now.  But you were so upset.  I don't think you realized that your hair would actually come off lol.  I'm hoping that you won't do it again now because you did get so upset.  I've stopped you from cutting your hair a few times before.  I think you get confused because I always use the scissors to cut out the elastics from your hair.  LOL. 

One of my favorite things about you right now is how you always say "sorry."  You say it every single time you are doing something wrong.  But you just keep doing what you're doing.  And you say it in the sweetest little voice ever.  Like you go to dump out the dog food, and you smile and say "sorry mommy" then you start stomping in the water you just dumped out.  Or you throw your food across the room when you're done eating and you smile and say, "sorry mommy."  Just every thing you do that's trouble, you always follow with the sweetest, "sorry."  Then you continue to do it :)... Gosh I just want to remember that little voice of yours.  My friend was saying the other day how cute your little voice is.  She said, you just don't expect such a high pitch little voice to come out of her.  It's so true.  Your little voice is so high and so so sweet. 

You've also started saying your prayers all by yourself lately.  Any time I say, k guys lets have a prayer, you immediately start to pray, whether we're ready or not.  You get very upset if someone else trys to say the prayer instead of you.  Seriously the sweetest little prayers you'll ever hear come out of you. 

I love how stubbornly independent you are.  You have to do everything yourself and I love it.  Buckling up in your car seat takes about 10 minutes lol, because you have to do it yourself!  You say, "me do it by my own."  You have such a strong personality and I love it!!! I seriously admire how strong you are and how you are not afraid to try one single thing! That is an amazing quality to have Molls, never lose that.  Even if you don't succeed at what you try, try anyway!  Truly, the fact that your trying in the first place is such a success! 

I love you my sweet little sassafrass.  You are truly a joy to have in our family.  I don't even know what we would ever do without you.  Keep that strong sassy sweetest personality you have!!!
I love you so so much!  More than you'll ever know.
love mom

Mollie girl!! I always say how crazy you are and seriously it's so true!!! But I wouldn't change one single thing about you!!!!!! Not one! You make me laugh a million times a day!!! Seriously you are SOOOO funny!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how fun you are!  You just talk and talk and talk all day long!  It's the dang cutest thing ever!  Lately you say ok after everything you say. But it's like the cutest little thing ever!  If you want something you say it in the cutest voice ever.  Like yesterday you didn't like the lunch I made you so you said, "I have mac n cheese ok."  Just everything.  "I go outside Ok."  " I get in bath ok."  I just wish I could etch that little ok in my memory forever! I just can't even describe in words how cute it is.  You're still a singing fool.  You sing all the time!!! My favorite lately is when you sing I am a child of God.  It's seriously the cutest thing and it makes me feel the spirit instantly.  I love how obsessed with your "blue blank" you are (blue blanket).  You have to have it most of the day and you love to take it everywhere. I love when you have to be bundled up in it in the car even when it's 100 degrees outside.  This past week you have stayed in your bed all night long (you've been coming into my bed every night for almost a year).  I always said it will be nice when you sleep in your own bed all night, but I miss your little body sideways and on top of me all night in my bed. :)  Your dad and I were just talking about how you have just grown up lately.  You are just so much easier in the day.  You like to play and it seems like you've just turned into a little girl.  You aren't so much a baby/toddler anymore.  It has seriously been so amazing and so so so fun watching you grow!! As bittersweet as it is, I absolutely love watching your milestones!  I can't wait to see your personality continue to grow and develop.  You are seriously one of the funniest people I know and you're only 2! 

You've also turned into a pretty picky eater!  You pretty much live on yogurt and cheese! That's all you want lol! You'll still eat a few fruits, so I try to give those to you as well, but as far as other food you just don't like much.  You do love mac and cheese and hot dogs but those aren't the healthiest.  You still throw your food and drinks on the floor with your done eating.  You literally just chuck them as far as you can.  Yesterday I made you a quesadilla, you ate the cheese off of it and then threw the tortillas on the ground.  And I'm not sure if I wrote this already, but the other day I made you a soft taco.  I cut it in half for you.  You took one half in each hand and threw them both over your shoulders.  Meat, cheese, lettuce, etc. flew everywhere!  You're just as crazy as can be!! But I just can't help but smile and laugh!!! You're just so spontaneous and fun at the same time!!!  I just love you to pieces Molls!!!! I seriously can never even begin to put into words how much I love you!!!! I don't know why Heavenly Father sent you to me, but I am forever grateful!!!!
Love you so much!

Mollie Jo!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even with you !!! HAHAHAHAHA, you are a wild animal on the loose !! :)  Seriously , your dad and I just look at each other sometimes and don't even have words. :)  Like when you take a taco in each hand and throw them over each shoulder, or when you dump the entire box of goldfish out onto the floor and stomp through them all, or when you run away with something you shouldn't have and you throw it as hard and as far as you can, or when you climb up the bunk bed ladders and yell "mom I'm up here!" or when you put on new clothes and say, "mom look at me, I so cute," or when you get a huge cup of water and dump it on the kitchen floor, or when you come into our bedroom every night and say hi mama and crawl into bed to go back to sleep.  You are a busy little body, but even as I type this I'm smiling so big!  I laugh and laugh and laugh all day long, and sometimes yell a little too lol.  But you are wild Molls!!! I just don't even know what to do with ya!  Seriously your dad , me and all your siblings laugh and laugh.  You keep us laughing all the time!!!!! I can't even remember what it was like before your crazy little self came to us!  We seriously would not change a single thing about you!  We're all so so so so so so so in love with you and your wild personality!!!!!!  I love so many little sweet things about you as well.  The way you sing ALL THE TIME!!!! Some of your favs to sing are brother john song, finger family song, abc's, twinkle twinkle, baby shark, the other day you were screaming at alexa to play monster high, so that was new. :)  I love how every time you see dad or I you say, "hi mama" or "hi dad."  You say it several times through out the day.  I love how much you love your siblings and how you copy everything they do!  I love how opinionated you are about everything!!!! Like just yesterday we went to get ice cream and you told me 1000 times on the way that you wanted vanilla.  You're just hilarious Mollie!!!!! Like HILARIOUS!!!!  You are ALWAYS talking!! ALWAYS, like you never stop and it's just so funny because you're so tiny but your personality is so so big!!! Never ever change !!! EVER!!! You are the sweetest little thing and we love you to pieces!!!!  Another thing I love is when you can't find anyone (siblings, mom, dad, max) you stay where you are and yell, "max are you??!!!!!" "Mom are you ?!!!!!!"  And I also love how you yell at the kids when I tell you to tell them something.  Like if I say go tell the kids it's time for dinner, you scream some random words and at the end you yell DINNER!!!  Oh man Molls I can't even tell you how funny and hilarious and sweet and cute and crazy you are!!! And we wouldn't have you any other way!!!!
Love you to pieces!
love mom
