Almost Done
Today while Em was napping I looked at the calendar and realized we are in the middle of February. I printed out a new month, March and taped it to the wall. On the month of March there is a picture of Keith in desert cammies and under it says " Daddy is coming home, You are our Hero" Finally... the time is getting closer and every day now I can look up and see the month of March and know that this is true.
After I printed out the calendar I looked back at some pictures of Em when Keith left. My God how she has changed. You have missed allot Keith. I am sure I don't have to tell you that. We are going to be so happy to have you back.
When you left Em was barely walking. Now she runs, plays kick ball, climbs on everything, and dances to her favorite songs.
She only had 4 teeth when you left. Now she only has 4 teeth left to come in.
She still ate some jar food... now she loves to take potato chips and dip them in onion dip
I would have to suck boogers out of her nose now she takes tissues and blows her nose by herself and throws the tissue away in the trash.
My car was clean when you left, now I have goldfish cracker crumbs and raisins thrown everywhere in it.
She brushes her own teeth
She can undress herself
She uses her imagination when she plays
she builds things with legos and blocks
she is no longer in a highchair
She can answer yes or no to a question
She is anal now like her father... doors must always be shut
She tries to dress herself and put on her own shoes
She knows her dogs names
She had her first kiss with a boy
She can find my car when we are parked someplace
She has developed a love for animals and they for her
She dumps her head under the water while taking a bath
She will ask to watch "Blue" or "Car" for the Big Red Car in the Wiggles
She loves to dance
She will give kisses and hugs when asked
She will test you every time she can
She has turned more into you than I thought possible. She looks more like you and acts just like you...
Things we have missed.... We have missed you for 174 days now... Every minute of every day. You were never far from my thoughts...
You missed her First Halloween where she trick or treated, Our 11 Year anniversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day, Your Birthday with us (or you will). How could you not be far from out thoughts. You have always been with us, in our hearts... every time I look at her I have seen you.
Not much longer now Keith. It will be 7 months by the time you get home. You have missed allot but you will be here for her 2nd Birthday and so much more to come. We can't wait to see you.... We love you and we are proud of you for all you have done and continue doing for us.
