Dear Alex,Here's some April 2011 updates I've been meaning to write about. (I promise to get back to the spirit of this blog soon).
- You've been so tired at night that you don't participate in our ritual: "What's your favorite thing of the day?"
Instead you say "I'll tell you in the morning."
- We visited Chicago in mid April for our annual Opening Day baseball game. You took a liking to grandma's little stuffed red bird and carried him everywhere. You took "Birdie" to the train where we headed to the airport with the full intention of giving him to grandma before we got on the train. During the quick good byes, giving him back was forgotten. When we got on the train you cried because Birdie couldn't go back home.
- We had our first school review. They said that at first you were shy but after a bit you now talk and play with your school friends. They said you light up every time they talked about your brother Max.- After we were home for a couple weeks with Birdie you told mama that Birdie wanted to go home. "How do you know that?" mama asked. "Birdie has a sad look in his eyes," you said.
- You and Max helped me shop for mother's day presents. At first you both insisted on getting her a gift card to Popo, a hip toy store. After looking around, you decided to get her a dinosaur building kit. Max got her a harmonica. You both asked continuosly whether mama would share her gifts with you.
