My Oldest Baby is 44 months!

The 44 months thing is kind of an inside joke with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law about continually referring to your birthday in months since that is what you do until kids start to turn about 2.  I explained in this post why I have started writing letters to my kiddos every couple of months.  Here is the first letter to Tyce.

Dear Tyce,

Today you are 3 years and 8 months old!  I cannot believe that in 4 short months you will be turning 4!  You are getting so big.  In fact, a few days ago I looked at you and could not believe how tall you seem to be.  I think you took a growth spurt.

You have been a very big helper lately.  You want to help clean, help your brother with anything we ask you, and help get food for Merlin.  We just started giving you "smiley faces" on your new rewards chart and so far you have gotten big points for getting ready to go to bed, sharing, and picking up your toys!  Good job buddy!

You are quite the little talker.  It is actually hard to get you to stop talking sometimes and just listen!  We are always working on those listening skills.  You have definitely hit the "why" stage and you want to know exactly how everything works.  If we tell you that we do not know you respond with "no you tell me".

You have loved playing in the water this summer and it is hard to get you out of the pool/water once you have started.  You are swimming with floaties on and are getting much better at kicking and floating.

3 of your favorite things these past couple of months have been

1.  eating snow cones and popsicles
2.  playing soccer
3.  "exercise" class (gymnastics and tumbling) at school

We are really enjoying watching you grow up and imitating everything around you!  Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
