Boyish



wheels, hose, dirt, water, inside of the car, record player, records, cabinets, fan...fascinating stuff for little boys (and big ones).

first bite



A couple of weeks ago you came home from day care with a big bite mark on your arm and a bruise on your cheek. Apparently, one of the little girls who is close to two years old has a biting issue and took it out on you.....you were trying to get away, lost your balance, fell, and hurt your cheek. At least that is what we think happened. No one exactly saw what occurred and you didn't even cry out (very hard to imagine). It was awful seeing you like that and having to imagine what happened and knowing that we weren't able to be there for you. It's harder than ever to leave you there in the morning as you just don't want to let us go. You cling to my clothes when I put you down to leave and cry every time. I know that you don't cry for long and quickly engage with the other kids. But it is oh so hard. The funny thing is that by the time we pick you up in the evening you are usually in the middle of something hardly noticing that we are there to pick you up.
