Dear Nathan

Dear Nathan,

This month I looked at you in complete awe.  There were times when I would have to remind myself that you are only 2 (almost 3!).  Sometimes you speak like such an adult and it blows my mind.  In fact you love to talk and you talk all of the time.  We are at the stage where you are questioning everything and anything.  It would be annoying if it wasn't so darn cute.

You still love to read and you beg us to read you a story every night (although now you've come to understand bargaining so sometimes you try to weasel in two or three extra stories).

You are so incredibly sweet and well-mannered (for a two year old).  Your heart is so full of love and it makes us so incredibly proud.  You are constantly helping with your little brother and you share everything you can with him (even if you are hesitant at times).

Your language skills are amazing and you are picking up more and more vocabulary both in English and in French.  Sometimes you get them mixed up but it is adorable.  We've even kept some of these "Nathanisms".  Your teachers at daycare are constantly going around asking "What you fait?"  It seems that you have rubbed off even on them.

Speaking of which, you have now become the "big man on campus".  A daycare campus but campus none the less.  All of the kids greet you by name when you enter even if they are not in your class.  I take that as a sign that you are a joy to be around even when you are not with us.

You are a complete cheeseball and you completely know it.  Who knows where you got your sense of humor but you love to laugh and be silly.  I hope you never lose this ability to laugh at life and to sometimes laugh at yourself.  It will come in handy.

You also love to pose for pictures.  You know when it is all about you and you soak up every second of it.

You are turning into such an incredible young man and we are so blessed to be your parents.

I can hardly believe that you will be 3 next month.  Please don't ever stop being my "baby", ok?



Coincidentally, this is my 500th published posts. I never thought I would get here when I started blogging four years ago. Wowza!
