November 10, 2010 - Dear Alex,

Dear Alex,
Some updates on you.

You shocked me when you counted to 20 this week. When did you learn that? And when did you get so big? And for that matter, when did you walk and talk and ...?

You're growing up so quickly.

You started a new school this week. Mama casually asked you if you wanted to go to school and you surprised us when you quickly said "yes." We went to look at the school that three of your cousins went to and you decided that this was no your school. We took you to buy a lunch box like your brothers'.

All of a sudden you displayed this sense of independence and this confidence that amazes us. It all just makes us more curious about the person hidden inside that small body.

Of course, just when we think you're such a big boy you do something like a little kid. You fell off the edge of the bench outside Las Paletas.

You were fine soon after you got over the pain (and got a new paleta). But you had a scar that lasted a week or so.
