Dear Mallary,

(taken the beginning of July)

I know you hear me call you a stinker. Well, you are one - I can not lie. But, you are also such a sweet little girl. You are so cute with Jonah. You are so gentle with him, and give him sweet kisses. You talk so cute to him too. It makes me feel good, because I hope you are just copying what you see me do, so at least I'm teaching you something good. I just love to watch you with him lately. I think it's so sweet how you'll lie down next to him and read him books. He loves it. I love it too.

Another thing I love? Last Monday, I went to put another pull-up on you and decided we would now get down to business with the potty training. Well, obviously you were the one that was ready, and I wasn't. Way to go! Only three accidents since last Monday, and they were both at the beginning of the week. You told me you weren't going to pee in your "underwears" anymore after that last time, and so far you've kept your word. You're so cute.

Love you,

Mom
