life is hard

It seems you are finally discovering how hard it is to not get everything you want. Mom and dad can't hold your hands and let you jump on their bed as many times as you would like. You can't be carried upside down through the hallway endless times. Worst of all, you can't have unlimited cookies. Once you realize that life isn't so bad again you still charm. You are starting to really want to hang out with your sister more. You get up in the morning and from naps talking about your sissy and don't know what to do when she is not at home.

You experienced you first snow and loved it. You put on your coveralls and shoveled and ate snow until your hands were frozen. You loved putting on your snow boots and stomping around. Mom loved seeing it.

something is going on

I know you are on the verge of something big. You have not been yourself these past few days. You even woke up during the night which rarely happens for you. There has been much frustration and screaming which is totally out of character for you. Maybe you will wake up tomorrow about 6 inches taller or using full sentences, but I hope this little phase doesn't last too much longer.

You really gave grama a dose of your silly personality while she was here. You were so smily and goofy and had no trouble going to the par
k or to see the trains with grama. You are constantly carrying around your cars and dragging dad into the hallway to through balls or play lacrosse.

Bath time still rem
ains a favorite time and you've taken a real interest in playing with other children. You and Eve have developed a little bit of a competitive relationship and don't want to share mom, dad, or grama's attention. You've discovered that you can recognize yourself and your family in pictures and well as some animals so enjoy looking at pictures on the computer and pointing out what you know. You've also started pointing out facial parts on yourself, mom and dad.

You've been learning a lot from your big sister which is obvious is your playtime. You have been coerced into princess dress-up clothes and even choosing your own accessories. Recently you won't even leave the house without a necklace. You're a well rounded little boy, that's for sure.
