Sometimes I look at you and you seem so grown up already. This was the second time doing your hair in pigtails, you will sit still now just long enough to get the elastics in.

Going swimming, you’re so excited you don’t want to stop to go inside to go potty, so I ask if you want to do a “nature pee”. You pull down your swimsuit and go over to the grass and squat. You get the concept that you can’t pee in the pool, you’ll scramble out to do a nature pee without prompting. Every day you swim, like a little fish. If you had a choice I think you’d stay in all day. “Puul!”

Phone conversations are getting longer, even the ones you make up. “No-no (Nolan) … Ohhhh…. park! Ummmm…baby Nattie? Nap? Ohhhh. Ollie nap? Snack. Ummmmm… Bye!” You hang up and then you will tell me what he said.

At last day of class at Mulberry, we had a park playdate at Jack Fischer park. When the water came on, you were just tickled. Didn’t mind a tad that it soused you.
