My Funny Little Brooklyn

Brooklyn is not quite 2 yet, but she sure is a character. She says the funniest things and tries so hard to be independent. This morning, it was 6:20 AM & most of us were still sleeping. Not Brooklyn. She was coming down the stairs singing "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam". It's hard to get mad at her when she is so cute.
She loves to see everything & it can be frustrating to her when she can't see what I am doing in the kitchen. She is a problem-solver & now goes & finds a step stool & brings it into the kitchen so she is taller & can see the tops of the counters.
She loves to play "I Spy" in the car. She always starts with the same opening line--"I spy something yellow". No matter what you guess, it's never right. We have to finally give in & say it's our turn. She also likes to play "Slug Bug". She will yell out "Slug Bug. I got it". It's amazing & scary how quickly she picks up on things & remembers what we say. She copies so much of what she hears. We were eating cashews the other day at Grandma's house & after she ate one she asked for more. I told her they were called cashews & from that moment on she asks for cashews by name. We definitely have a real smart girl on our hands. She is also very polite. She almost always says "thank you" after we have done something for her or given her food. What a sweetheart!! We love you Brooklyn & are so glad you are in our family.
