Taylor is 2 1/2 and a sweetheart. She is a great kid, don't get me wrong she is a typical 2 year old and she will test you but she is a sweetie. If anyone in the family sneezes she will say "bless you" even when she is in bed and you are in the living room waiting for her to go to sleep. She loves to play with Rilee and is always looking for more ways to play with her. She loves to help with Rilee, especially bath time. Oh ya she LOVES baths. After we got her potty trained we found out how much she loves her baths. We would say bath time for Rilee and the next thing we would know is that Taylor runs to her room, shuts the door and comes out butt naked and she will tell you too, she says "I naked" and oh so proud of it with the cutest little smile. So needless to say we try and give Rilee baths in secret now, unless it is Taylor's bath night, because Taylor wants so bad to get in with her and help or just be in there. We are looking at doing swim lessons for Taylor at the YMCA, I am excited. Taylor is very concerned about others feelings, if I look sad or cough she will say, "OK mom?", it is so cute. She is always saying her pleases and thank yous. Lately she has been my little helper, her chore now is to do the silverware when we do dishes and she will go and get her step stool and place it just right and put the silverware away, 
she also helps me sweep, and holds the dust pan, she helps me vacuum, mommy with her vacuum and Taylor with hers (her push popper), she helps me dust and glass plus. In fact, yesterday I was glass plussing and she went to the bathroom and got one piece of bathroom tissue and came to help me glass plus, it was so cute. She loves to tell me it is all clean, and after laundry is done she will smell the clothes and tell us all "all kean". The best part of all is that she will tell me I am beautiful. She say's "mommy beautiful". She loves to spend time with her daddy. Everyday and I mean everyday the minute Mark walks in the door we will eat and then just play with the girls till bedtime at 8:00. Our bedtime routine is Mark will bath Rilee and Taylor and I play and then I take and get Rilee ready for bed and feed and put her to bed while Mark gets Taylor ready for bed and then they read for about 15 minutes and she loves it so much and it is so cute to see. She gets so excited to tell me about her books.
I am so thankful for my little family for a great husband who helps me out in so many ways and for 2 awesome girls who melt my heart every day and for great extended family who I love very much.
Oh ya and the potty trainee has done awesome. Like the picture daddy was helping her out.
