Another bulleted post...

Dear Parker,

So, here I am again.  Behind.  I feel like it's the story of my blogging life.  But, you have been so amazing lately and doing so many things that I think I should write about.  I'm sure I won't be able to remember any of them now (or maybe I'll write about things that I already mentioned - I dunno....we'll see how it goes!)

Here goes.

1) Some kids have an imaginary friend.  You have an imaginary bear.  This is not a nice bear (I don't think.)  He lives in our house and often tries to get us and eat our toes.  You will often shut us in whatever room we are in so that the bear doesn't get us.  Sometimes, if you are feeling brave, you will rock on the horse that Grandpa Sharp made in an attempt to catch the bear and squish him.  Miraculously, however, he always comes back to life!

2) Your babies.  They are NOT well potty trained.  Someone is always having an accident and needing to be changed.  They are always crying and needing cloths.  You are pretty funny with them.  You will say things like, "It's ok.  I love you."  Tonight, you gave Allie and Mickey a full check up with your doctor kit.  I want to know what other 2 year old actually says, "Okay, Mickey.  I will check your blood pressure.  It won't hurt."  Too funny.  You gave them both shots in the leg (like you got a couple of weeks ago.)  Then told them that they did a good job.

3) Talking.  You are never quiet.  You are constantly narrating your life.  And, if there is nothing interesting going on, you are telling a story - either a reenactment of something that actually happened or a story that you are making up.  When you are telling a story, you will tell the story - complete with quotes from those involved and then laugh and say, "like that."  Tonight, you wanted to take your babies (Allie and Dolly) on a walk around the house.  You asked me "Would you want to carry these cards?"  You asked your Mom, "Would you want to carry this pillow for Allie?"  That's not exactly correct grammar, but still pretty cute.

4)Conversation/Games  Tonight, we were eating dinner and you asked what we should do after dinner.  Then, you said, "Maybe Match Game, Candyland or Hungry Hippos."   You are getting so good and interacting with people and asking appropriate questions.  Whenever one of us comes home, you ask, "How was your day at school?"  I also love that you love games.  You don't fully understand them yet, but you understand HOW to play them, so that's a step.

I can't really think of much else right now.  I know there is more and I will try to be better about writing it down as it comes to me instead of waiting for weeks and then forgetting it.

What I don't ever forget is that I love you so much and am constantly amazed by you.
Love,
Mommy
