Humpback Whale

I was giggling this a.m. We watched "Go Diego, Go!" and they were saving a Humpback Whale. You were really into it and talking about it for a few hours. Mama, you be Deigo, I be the Humpback Whale. If I didn't watch the show with you. I would have never known what you were saying. Here is how you say Humpback whale.

No... I'm Miles

You like to play this game lately where we pretend that something is different than it really is. You say "No that is silly!"

Water

With the warm weather we have been playing outside more and fishing in the water table. You LOVE it. We go for walks 2x a day to look for bugs and take our cars to play out in the courtyard. Roscoe is benefiting as well as you always want to take him with us.

Friday

New Shoes finally starting to fit

I found your trucks all lined up on the stairs

checking out the new placement of the chair

Playing with Bugs on a walk

See... BUGS!

Little Update

Just a few little things that I feel like I need to note.

1. The time change was a lifesaver. You know get up around 6 and 630. Sometimes you play in your room till 7.

2. When we read books at night, you lay on your back and use your little foot to point to things and tell me what they are.

3. You still love heart sandwiches and have moved into trying new foods more and more. Today you ate some plums with dinner and were digging them!

4. Roscoe and Coco are some of your new favorites. When we leave the house you say "Bye Coco, Bye Roscoe Jones. I will miss you"

5. You have started to tell me about things that happen at school. You talk about your friends there, what you play and how excited you are to go back.

6. The helper and independent in your has sprouted. You love to help with all activities Mommy does and you really like to do things yourself. You can do more than I realize. Cleaning up toys and putting away books seems to come as a habit and it makes me so thrilled to see you do that.

7. Memory, your memory is amazing. You talk about things that happened weeks ago and how they made you feel. You really like to talk about big events over and over.

8. Pretend... all day long...

9. You had your first "Independent Play" at the playground. You made a friend, left mommy and had a great time without me following you.

10. Music, you love to dance "shake your booty" and sing. It is something that I really wanted you to love and am happy to see you grow into it.

Ouchie

First big ouchie from school. You actually fell while I was there. It was really red but the next day looked great. You actually didn't talk about it at all. I thought you were going to want to tell me all about it. Naw... just another day at the office. All he wanted to do was jump and play

Chillin on the Couch

Headlock

Miles got me in a headlock while watching Dora. I sat like this for a few minutes. Someone needed a cuddle.

Heart Sandwich

You haven't been a big sandwich eater and just lately you have taken to PB&J. You love them when they are a heart shape. I am more than willing to accommodate.

You ask for a "heart" when you are hungry. So sweet.  I pack them in your snack box for school.

Below is also one of two snaps you let me take as I did some portraits at school one day of all the kiddies. You are SO SICK of having your picture taken!

Farmers Market Train Time!

This past weekend we went to the farmers market and rode the train. You met your friend Penelope for the first time. You guys played so well together and had a great time! I can't wait to hang out again soon!

The Sweetest Thing

Today as I was putting you down for nap, we read two books. Good Night Pookie and the Dinosaur book. You love those! So does Mommy because they are quick and make you giggle.

After the books you sat up and laid down on my tummy. You hugged it tight and said "I love you baby brother" I told you how happy that made mommy and you did it again. I know you will be an amazing big brother. This baby is luck to have someone like you to show him the ropes

Movie and maga

Went to your 2nd movie ever! Maga came with. You were too cute. You talked through it a bit but all in all you were great! Rango wasn't too scary for you but I can see how it might be for some. Then we went out to dinner and spoiled you rotten. Another great weekend wrapped up.

Coming to a Theater Near you

Friend mocked this up from a shot I took over the weekend. Miles was sitting on the hill and said. "I'm mad at daddy" and turned away and crossed his arms. He now pretends to be mad like this. I crack up every time.

Miles is really into figuring out emotions right now. We read books and he likes to point out who is mad, sad, frustrated and happy. It is interesting what you observe. You have even taken to telling me if Coco or Roscoe are happy or sad.

Your pretend play is blowing up. You love playing with your dinos and cars. You have them talk to each other about helping you find stuff that is lost and asking how their day is going.

You have moved into the "loving" school stage and talk about going. You also are starting to talk to me about stuff you do at school and the kids you play with. I love hearing your interpretation of how things happen.

Some potty interest is going on but not 100%. We will get there someday!
