3.5 years
Another 6 months gone by and another list of first. A few general updates:
- You are an incredibly caring big sister. You love little Ethan boy so much and are constantly trying to help us with him, play with him, love on him and tell everyone about him.
- Perhaps TMI - but I got snipped recently. We will not be having any more children, you guys are it and we couldn't be happier. Mom is still a bit on the fence (but only because she can't actually make decisions), but you guys are it. Don't disappoint.
- Couple of firsts:
- Ice skating - you have been asking to go for months and we finally got the chance in SV. It was actually a first for both of us but we did just fine - and you LOVED it.
- You also took soccer lessons at Camelsback Park near our house. While reticent at first, once you realized all it was about was kicking balls you got into it.
- You flew your first kite. Daddy accidentally dropped it at one point and had to chase it across the park (you were beside yourself when this occurred), but few things bring you as much joy as watching a kite fly.
- Stomach bug - you got sick. You never get sick. Not only did you get sick, but you got sick alllllll over me multiple times. You had rice for dinner, and I slept with you all night get puked on. Part of the issue was that I kept giving you water, not knowing that I was supposed to limit it (oops). I then left for LA for work after you were better and got sick myself, leaving me in a hotel room in Santa Monica puking. It was a lot of fun. Then you got another bug a few months later, and again chose me as your target for vomit. Honestly though, it was one of the saddest things ever seeing you sick. Hope it never happens again.
- Ummmm, you started preschool! Yes, you are in the 3/4 class at Wesleyan. The school is in North End and your teachers are teacher Gina and teacher Beth. We were worried about you from a social perspective, but you have been doing incredibly well. You are still shy, but once you get into playing you forget we are even gone. Obviously your mom is struggling with not having you around but she is acclimating quickly.
