Oh, where to start??

You:

  • love Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, Little Einsteins

  • love to read books. Favorites right now are ever-changing but Little Toot, My Truck is Stuck and Curious George are frequently requested

  • have zero interest in the potty

  • have a low tolerance for frustration. But we're working on that and you are doing much better trying at things. I love to hear you say, "OK, Mom. I'll try."

  • love anything sweet or salty. Pretzels, crackers, chocolate morsels. Love snacks snacks snacks--peanut butter pretzels, peanuts, chocolate milk, chicken nuggets, tater tots
  • Everyday you ask for yogurt just so you can have it with a few morsels thrown in

  • are best buddies with Zeke and cry whenever i pick you up from their house or he has to leave our house

  • are very tender and sweet with Keegen. Often give him kisses and hugs.

  • are so totally honest. If i ask "Why is Marianne crying?" You very honestly respond, "Because Dwayne and I were throwing things at her."

  • readily apologize--sometimes too much! This is a new thing and i like that you will say "sorry" and give a hug

  • can count to 20. Sometimes you mix up the teens and i love when you say "20-teen."

  • dropped your nap but still really need it. Makes for some tough afternoons!

  • say "I am OK" immediately after a mishap if you are, indeed, OK

  • say "I'll be wight back" "Yes, i sink so" "it's lellow" for yellow and call M&Ms "lem-a-lems"

  • don't dig crafty activities but love to dig in the dirt with your Tonka trucks and throw rocks in streams

  • are suddenly amazingly good at navigating on the computer with the mouse and love Noggin's Max and Ruby ("Wuby") games

    Sounds like Bode and Ethan would get along with many of their interests. He looks so big! What a cutie.
