I know I am her mom and I am biased, but our Margo Faye has been a SUPER STAR during the past six months where she has faced so many difficult changes. We have had some tough moments, but they were few and far between. Mostly, Margo has been a bright ray of sunshine in what has been one of the toughest transitions of our lives!
First of all, to say that she is a great big sister is an understatement. She is sweet to David and loves to help, yet understands there are boundaries to how much she can be involved. She loves to show him his toys, "read" him stories and help feed him his bottle. She especially loves helping mama, by retrieving a fresh burp cloth, fetching him a toy or putting his clothes away.
Since January, Margo has gone to two new schools, become a big sister and has moved--wow! I bet a lot of two year olds would really be acting out. Margo, on the other hand, has seemed to take it all in stride and actually has embraced the changes better than mommy and daddy have--kids are amazing!
We worked really hard to make the move exciting and make her new playroom special with a new play kitchen and extra cubby shelves. Cary and I only had two days and David with us to get their rooms set-up, along with the playroom and we did it! Not to mention, we put a sand table on the back patio to replace her playset. When she came in and discovered her new house, she was beyond thrilled and still says she likes her new house more, but misses her old playset. We spend lots of time on the patio, sans mosquitos--yahoo!
So... here is six months in pictures, in no particular order, to show off my beautiful hearted and incredibly resilient little girl! She makes the long days tolerable with her silly antics and never surprises me with the hilarious things that come out of her mouth. She still loves to sing and dance, is over Elmo and has moved on to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and is smart as a whip. She knows most of her letters, recognizes her name and has an incredible vocabulary and ability to reason. She is polite, energetic as heck, , loves dresses, is affectionate and still has a sweet innocence about her that makes my world go round. Any mom would be madly in love with such an amazing little girl!
