You’ve had a lot going on lately. The biggest thing is that you started school. Oh how I love Tuesdays and Thursdays! As much as I love you and your sister, it’s nice to have a break and do grown-up things. Your teachers are wonderful, and they’re constantly telling us how sweet you are. Your favorite activities are reportedly outside play time and art projects. You don’t much like drop-off time, but you’re always happy when we pick you up and your teachers say you don’t cry long when we leave in the mornings.

You’re teething like mad and have been biting a lot. Last time I picked you up from school your teachers said that you bit three of your classmates. They aren’t as worried about it as I am. They say it’s a phase many children go through and you’ll outgrow it.

You’ve learned how to run and you now spend more time running than walking, making it challenging to keep up with you. It also results in a lot more bumps and bruises. You enjoy dancing around the living room with your sister. Jumping and somersaults are also new skills.

You are absolutely obsessed with the movie Cars. We watch it numerous times daily. We have a copy of it for the house and for the car. You have Lightning McQueen sippy cups, a pillow, blanket, die-cast cars and haulers, pajamas. It’s likely bordering on an unhealthy obsession, but you enjoy it so much that we can’t help but support it.
