Dear Henry,
You're two years old! Can you believe it?!? What an amazing year you've had... think of all the places you've been, things you've seen and all the cool stuff you've learned! Here are some of the highlights as you enter your third year:
1 - You are talk, talk, talking all the time. A lot of it is your own little jibber-jabber, but you know so many words... more than we can count. You're stringing words together for phrases, you can give us a few simple sentences, you can count up to 10 (and sometimes beyond), you know most of your ABCs and you LOVE telling us what colors various things are.
2 - You're in daycare... and doing great! It was a rough start a few months ago, but you've adapted very well and are now "The Mayor" of EduKids. At least that's what Ms. Pamela tells us they call you, because you walk through the halls waving and saying "HI!" to everyone. You're little Mr. Popular!
3 - You are OBSESSED with all kinds of big trucks and vehicles: firetrucks, school buses, big rigs... but especially construction trucks. You love excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, backhoes and especially mini-loaders. Once you've seen a construction site or a lot where these trucks are stored, you memorize it and make Mommy or Daddy drive by whenever you're in the car. They are currently building the new fire station off of Main Street, and you know EXACTLY how to get there. Whenever we're in the car, the moment we make that right onto Center you're screaming with glee: "EXCAVATOR!" or "MINI-LOADER!"
4 - You also like to read books, work with your flash cards, play with your puzzles and you've started to take an interest in coloring at your little table. We love playing with you at your kitchen as you whip up various culinary creations for Mommy and Daddy. Our favorite is the soup you make us with as many ingredients as you can fit in the pot!
5 - You still LOOOOOOVE to eat. But you're also still a moody eater, eating what you want when you want it. One night you'll refuse everything we put in front of you, but the very next day you'll eat that exact plate for lunch! But we're happy we don't have to make you your own meal at night and that you eat whatever Mommy and Daddy eat.
6 - One complaint, and it's in the sleep department. You still sleep straight through the night, but could you please... PLEASE... sleep in once and a while?! You sleep in during the week when you need to get up for daycare, but come the weekend you're up at the crack of dawn. Do you know you're home with Mommy and Daddy those days and just want to get up and play??
7 - You're a sweet, loving little boy who loves his family. You are DEFINITELY a two year old, with your little temper tantrums and wanting everything on your terms. You're also becoming Mr. Independent, which can be frustrating for you because there's simply some things you still need Mommy and Daddy to do.
Mommy and Daddy love you with all of our hearts. Your second year was quite the journey, and we loved soaking in every moment we could with you.
Love,
Daddy and Mommy
