Newsletter: October 2010

Elliot - Now that you are two-years-old, I have decided to continue to write you a monthly newsletter however I am going to stop naming your age in months. Image how it will sound at month 38 - who would even know how old that is? Instead I will just label them with the date and continue to document your milestones.

You are talking like crazy, repeating everything we say and putting together two and three-word sentences. Some really fun words you are saying are watey(water) and awesome.
Counting is fun for you and you still often miss numbers six and seven moving five to eight in your mind. Then randomly you will jump to 18!

Another big milestone is that you have begun to climb stairs one at a time instead of two footed steps each. I remember following you up stairs a couple of weeks ago, silently asking myself if you would ever figure that out.

You can name colors though mostly I think you just guess rather than know them yet. You love to play with play-doh and crayons. And you are identifying a lot of letters and are pretty adament about it. If your daddy or I are reading something you interrupt and find a "w".

I think I am going to start a monthly addition to this newsletter calling it, "Things I Never Thought I Would Say." For example, "Elliot, we don't flush blocks down the toliet" or "we don't paint with yogurt" or "we don't color on Wini." I imagine more of these will come and perhaps stick around until you are quite old. Daddy and I are laughing a lot at your antics...so far.

Love,

Mama
