Letters to Hope

So I was looking into starting the process of editing this “book” but realized I still have so much to write about that I think I will wait until you are five years old to make the first volume of it. You as still growing, of course, and everyday you amaze me more and more. Today I noticed that you went up the stairs like I do (one foot at a time) instead of the normal left…. Left…. Left… that you have been doing since going up the stairs. You are also becoming very ….. bossy and independent and in that same respect are clinging to me more and more. The arm-pit thing is out of control and I don’t know how much longer I can take it. HA I hope you stop soon it drives me crazy. You are very creative and I can see your little brain thinking of more and more stuff to do and figure out. You like to color and draw and are starting to really get into playing with your dolls. I think we lost your favorite Elmo doll and every once in awhile you ask for it. You have three others but you don’t like them as much as you liked this one. We might just get you a new one but not sure if you would like it as much as the old one. You are potty training slowly, every once in awhile you will say you have to go, but then you also go get a diaper and tell me to put it on, so I think you know what the diapers are for and what the potty is for I just think sometimes you get a little lazy. But I am sure it will come in time. I have been really busy with my business lately and not home much. When I come home you HAVE TO snuggle with me as soon as I walk in the door or you are a crab for the rest of the night. It is good that you are spending time with Daddy though you both need bonding time together. This summer you are going to take swimming lessons with him and that will be very nice for the both of you. You love the new park and go there often (almost every day) you are still very active and only like to really watch TV in the early morning (and then for only about ½ an hour) and at around 4 and then also for only about ½ an hour. Other then that, you are GO GO GO GO.
