You’ve got charm, kid. This really represents your current lifestyle and personality. You’re in your “blue monster” towel in your newly redone “big kid room” singing your favorite song and being silly. You love being silly now….I like your newfound belly laughs. Speaking of bellies, tonight you discovered that yours can go in and out and it cracks you up. Blowing raspberries on my big pregnant belly does, too. You also like doing “nosies” now and poking me in my belly button that is currently sticking out.

I left you at your first day of preschool summer camp. You barely noticed me leave and only because I lingered and pathetically said, “bye, Jho!” When I came to pick you up, you ran in strange figure eights around the classroom tables. You didn’t want to leave! You are independent, confident, outgoing, and sweet and those qualities serve you well in group situations. You really love going to school.

You are currently about 38 pounds and are about 37 inches tall. You are often thought to be 4 years old instead of 2. You are very attentive to books and movies. You still love monster trucks, dinosaurs, playgrounds, and animals. You hold long conversations and use wild, gesticulations as you speak. I love it.

You know your letters, colors, and shapes pretty well, but have trouble with numbers. You’re playing simple board games, building (and knocking down) block towers. You don’t have much patience for coloring/drawing/painting and prefer play doh and finger-painting. You love to travel and had an amazing time on our trip to Chicago. You loved hotel rooms, walks in the stroller, and going to new places. You are my little adventurer and I love watching it.

Soon you’re going to be my super helper. Last night you felt Margot jump for the first time. It’s fun to watch you getting excited about your sister’s arrival. I’m getting excited, too.
