October 28, 2009 - Dear Alex,

Dear Alex,
You amaze me. You do everything we do. I go to put on your shoes and you insist on putting on your shoes. I try to help you drink water and you pull it out of my hand. You see Max drawing and you demand paper and crayon. I play baseball with Max and you crawl over and grab the ball or the bat. Mama hands you a tissue and says "Wipe your mocos" and you do. She's even gotten you to wipe your pene.

You're almost walking. You've taken at least 10 steps at a time. You were almost there a couple weeks ago and then you started feeling a bit lousy and your practicing slowed down. This week we got you one of those wooden walking toys and you do it over and over and over. After a few days of mom chasing you to help you get it unstuck, you started moving it on your own.

You are a determined little boy. Strong physically and strong willed. You know what you want and you go get it or demand that one of us gets it for you.
