In keeping with tradition, I made Elmo cupcakes for Baby T since he has come to love Elmo this year. I used a combination of fondant and modeling chocolate. The white part of the eyes and nose are fondant and the rest is made from modeling chocolate.
Dear Baby T,
You have officially gone from being an infant to being a toddler. Over the past few months you have become so independent and eager to do everything on your own. Sometimes it's hard keeping up with you or to convince you to let me help you.
You have a comical side to you and know how to make me laugh. You have a special Cocomong dance that you do when you ask to watch it. You love to squeeze your chubby little hands into my shirt sleeves. It's become part of your bedtime ritual. You've learned how to furrow your brow and hunch over when you are upset and sometimes you do it just to make me laugh. You love back scratches and ask to be cradled like a baby right after a bath. You love snoring, making fish faces and kissing the phone during video chats with your dad.
When you are not busy amusing me, you are busy amazing me. You love music and intently following along in music class. You confidently sing the theme song to Elmo's World. You love any sports ball that you can throw and anything that you can swing. Your love for golf must be hereditary because you are always doing a golf swing even when you don't have a club in hand, just like your father.
You love your "Bon-bee" and "Dan-din" (names you have given your big sister and brother because you can't pronounce their names) and love to do anything they are doing, whether it's wearing a tutu or sword fighting. When they are at school you are always asking for them and eagerly greet them when they come home.
Baby T, I pray you will always be filled with the same innocent and pure joy you exude now and will bless others with that joy wherever you go. You fill our lives with so much laughter and we thank God for you.
Love,
Mommy
