This year you grew from a baby into a toddler. You learned to walk, you learned to talk, and you learned to put on Milo's backpack and gloves (pronounced glubs), kiss everyone goodbye and pretend to go off to school.
You are still a force to be reckoned with. It took you a while to learn to walk, but now that you're doing it you're like a battering ram. You pick up speed and just go. The other day you walked with me from 17th St. to 8th St., and then halfway back. The only reason you finally agreed to go into the stroller was because I forced you into it so we could be back in time to pick up Milo.
You have an amazing sense of location, or direction, I'm not sure which it is yet, but yesterday we were walking past 12th St., and you started yelling that you wanted to go play with Elliot, your friend who lives on 12th St over a block away from where we were standing - you knew which corner to turn down to get to Elliot's house. Then the other day as we were a block away from the synagogue you started insisting that we were going to Hebrew School to pick up Milo, and screamed bloody murder when I walked us by the synagogue instead of going inside.
You are still passionate about your books, and you have them all memorized. You like to sit and read them, reciting all the words, and occupying yourself for sometimes up to half an hour at a time. You are also obsessed with your older brother, insisting he feed you at breakfast despite the fact that you are perfectly capable of doing it on your own, and banging on the door when he's in the bathroom and yelling "Raro! Where are you!" You have also picked up some etiquette from him, including phrases like: "Don't grab," "No pushing," and "AAAIIIEEE!!! NOOOOO!!! THAT'S MINE!!!"
You also love animals, particularly Oscar, who you follow around the house yelling "Snuggle, Oscar!" at, and any and all dogs on the street, each of whom you pat on the head and say, "Nice dog" to.
Some of your favorite things to do: go places, including the car, Fairway, the pool, the car wash, the gym, music class, Hebrew School, Milo's school, down the slide, and the generic "take a walk." You love to snuggle (I live in fear of the day you stop saying "Snuggle Mama on the couch?") tickle and be tickled, and do summersaults. Some of your least favorite things to do: anything you didn't think of yourself, and eating dinner.
Here are some pictures from your birthday, during which you repeatedly insisted that the candle be turned on again, sang yourself happy birthday multiple times, and then acted like you could not believe your good fortune at getting to eat cat cake.
You are delicious, my little organic chicken.
Love,
Mama
