<\/a><\/div>\nYou love your books, just like your big sister. Your new thing is to let me read you a book, then you take the book from me and read it, page for page, back to me. You have a crazy good memory, and even though you don’t say every word in the book, it’s remarkable to know what parts you enjoyed enough to retell. You will even do this with books we haven’t read for a while, or at least not since before you started reading them back to me. Like I said, your memory is really, really good.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nYou have 14 teeth now, but I know for sure that there are two more working on popping out sooner rather than later. I can *almost* feel them poking through, but it’s hard to be brave enough to stick my finger in there with all those teeth you already have!<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nYou love being outside. You would live<\/em> outside if you could! Your first request after breakfast is “shoes, ‘side!” every morning. And now that we have the sandbox, it’s become “shoes, ‘side, sand-ee box!” Days when you get to come out early enough to see Carrie off on the bus are the most exciting, and you adore walking to “Gamma’s” house to see Grandpa (and Grandma when she’s not at work.)<\/p>\n You love the pinwheels I “planted” in our front garden. You look out of the family room window every day and point to the “flow-ahs” and try to blow through the window to make them spin. You love to carry them around and hold them up in the breeze.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
