Letters to Everett: 4/22/13

Dear Everett, 

You are 23 months old now- this is your last month of being a 1 year old! This is also the last month that you will be an only child because your little brother will be here soon.  I am not sure if you are going to like having to share your mommy and daddy but I am sure that you will adjust and be a great big brother. This month we took away your beloved paci's and although at first you resisted, you did really well with the transition.  I am so proud of you! 

You had your first real temper tantrum this month and it seems that the "terrible two's" are starting.  We will make it through them, probably with a little frustration but we will be fine!  You are learning more and more words every day and are having less difficulty communicating with us.   You really like saying everyone's names and go down the list (Pig Paw, GaGa, Rae Rae, etc.) about ten times a day.  You also use this as a stalling technique when it is time to take a nap or go to bed. 

Daddy and I took you fishing at the city dock this month and you loved it! You have your very own fishing pole and were very excited to use it! You also love buckles and snaps and you make sure that anything that is in need of buckling or snapping gets put together! 

We are planning your 2nd birthday party which is going to be a Calliou themed party.  You love (love) love Calliou and are very excited every time you see him on tv.  We are having your birthday party a week or so early this year just in case your little brother makes his debut around the same time as your birthday! We want to make sure that you get to have your party! 

You are growing up so fast and are such a joy to have in my life.  I love you so much and enjoy every minute I have with you.  I can't imagine life with out you! 

New words you are saying: 

Tipsy, yabba dabba doo, T-T (Tiphany), ni-ni-ni (no no no), Tonya, cereal, Tawny, me-men (amen), noni (noodle), ya-yo (spaghetti-oh's), tide (outside), trash (crash), couch, bice (bike), down, hat, yee-haw, tweezers, slide, side (outside), pooh-sey (horsey), boo buggy (dune buggy), coo- bus (school bus), kiss, smoothie, Jedi, puter (computer), type, Colt

Momma and daddy love you to the moon and all the way back! 

xoxoxox,

Momma
