Dear Bug,
You are quite a three-year-old now. I could tell, the other night, when Daddy met us at the restaurant, and you greeted him by saying, "Well, we've already started eating. Would you like to join us?" You've got lots of facial expressions that you use all day. You are practically obsessive about sports gear, although, in the end, everything becomes a soccer ball. Whether it's a basketball or baseball or whatever, you end up dribbling it with your feet. You wear your soccer cleats all day every day. You say the reason you won't wear a coat is because you only wear things that make you run fast. Oh, and speaking of dribbling, this year, from 2-3, you have learned to ride a 2-wheeled scooter (up to 2 miles in a stretch), balance in the water on surf board, and swim under water on your own! You are extremely coordinated, and extremely determined when it comes to mastering a physical skill. You have quite a little 3-year-old spirit, and are very particular about how things should be. You love to play the "vi-vo-lin" the "uncle-lady" and the banjo. Some of your favorite songs this year are The Mighty Quinn and Turkey Vulture. You are passionate about your favorite color: blue. Whenever you draw, you make balloons or "the sea." Some of your very favorite things in the world are grandparents, parents, Stella, and "Roli." When I ask you who your friends are, you say, "Calvin and Ben." When I ask you about Julianna and Sofi, you say, "Oh, yeah. . . Sofi is my favorite. Julianna is my favorite, too, but. . . . she's for sharing." You absolutely refuse to wear warm clothes, which tries your mama's patience every day! You have lots of ideas about what you will do, now that you are three, like. . . no more nursing at all, using the potty, sleeping in your bed. When you decide to do something, I know it's going to happen. You are so determined.
We love you, Bug-a roo!!!
For your birthday this year, we went on a real train ride through the beautiful fall forest with Nana Tru, Carlos, Grandma and Grandpa. Then we had dinner with them, as well as Roli and Tom. Roli made you a very special lion cake, just as you requested.
