Babito,
It finally hit me at your birthday party’s after-party that you had become a little boy. After your party at My Gym, some family and friends came back to the house to watch you open your presents.
When you were done, and everyone left your playroom to go into the den, you stayed behind to play with some of your new toys. Ten minutes later you came walking into the den carrying someone’s large purse. You said “Someone’s phone is ringing!” And you were right.
That thinking about others has been something you’ve had deep inside you since you were very young. You love to ask people (especially your Mommy and Daddy), “Are you happy?” whenever they look a little down. By the way, you also like asking your Mommy and Daddy if they’re mad when you know you’ve done something wrong.
I think both of these questions are wonderful. It shows that you care about others, and that’s a great trait to have.
I was also very proud of the way you handled your birthday party. You were running around, having fun with all your guests, and not worrying so much where Mommy and Daddy were. You’re starting to show some independence. You also stuck up for yourself with other kids, once when they were teasing you asking who’s birthday it was and another time when your friend Mason tried to blow out your candles. Keep it up. Remember to always stick up for yourself, because someone else (Daddy) won’t always be with you to stick up for you.
Although you’re getting more independent, I’m glad you still love to hang out with your Daddy. I still can’t leave the house to run an errand
without you asking to go with me. On the weekends you go everywhere with me, no matter how boring the errand. I know this won’t last forever, so I’m enjoying every minute of it.
You’re a very quick learner. You got the potty-training thing down in one day. Mommy and Daddy dreaded the coming experience for nothing. We should have known you’d pick it up quickly. You’re also very good at remembering the lyrics to songs. I can’t even count the number of songs you know the words to. You are definitely a music lover.
The last thing I’m very proud of is how polite you are. You’re always saying thank you and you’re welcome to everyone, even without Mommy and Daddy reminding you to say it.
Happy Birthday, Babito! Your Mommy and Daddy love you so very much, and are so grateful that God decided to bless us with such a wonderful, loving little boy.
