Dearest E!
It is so much fun to be with you. You are all over the place! All you want to do is be outside. As soon as you get up in the morning you go to the door and stretch to reach that door knob.
You love to run and play at the bluff. We spend hours each day there. It is our own "backyard". We like to kick the ball and throw it to one another. You are getting really good at kicking and throwing. You even throw over handed now. We are working on learning how to jump, skip and hop.
Your favorite thing in the world is trucks. You point and yell at each truck we see.
You shake your head yes in answer to our questions. You respond to so many requests and questions. One day I was just talking to you and asked you to do something not expecting that you would and you went right over and did it!
You love books (especially one that has a truck!). You can point and identify so many things when asked. You have started singing to yourself. You will hear Mommy or Daddy singing and after a few minutes you can hear you try to sing a song.
Yesterday we were in the grocery store and as we were walking down an aisle a baby and his Mother were walking past us. In a perfect voice you pointed and said "Baby!". I had only recently heard you say that word and it was so fun to see you identify something new so clearly.
You love water. Anything water. We will walk past a gardener watering plants and we will stop and watch. You love fountains and we visit all of them in the neighborhood. We have 4-5 close by. We went to Kids Space in Pasadena this week. There were all sorts of water activities. You were so happy. I can't wait to take you to swim this summer. There is a new beach club open to the public here in the neighborhood. It should be perfect for us to go all summer long!
You seem more into sharing now and understand the concept. I see you offering a drink to Sofia or giving a ball to a new friend at the park. You love people and seek them out when someone interests you. You have a few favorite people in your life (that is besides M + D!) Gianni-you love her and give her kisses when we leave her; Monica-Our neighbor, you always respond so well to her and give her many smiles; Dave-our old neighbor(now friend), you love him and will reach out for him to pick you up. He is the first person outside of M + D that you have done this for. It is neat to see you open your circle of trust. You are such a people person and like to watch faces. We started a new music class this past week. We are taking it with Sofia. You like the instruments and the activity but always get a little overwhelmed by the end. I think it is too close to nap time and groups always make you a little overwhelmed. I think you are all ready showing a preference to one-to-one.
You are taking one nap a day. You usually go to bed between 8-9 and sleep until 7-8am. You are getting longer by the minute!
We love you so much. It is so wonderful to watch you grow.
Love-
M
