Long time no post...I think it might be a Facebook issue. I feel like I need to post sometimes just for my own memory later!!
Anyway, the dude is 28 months today. Stats: 3'1" and 36 pounds.
So much has changed since his second birthday. He's talking more every minute. Hilarious phrases include: "Something weird, mommy" (randomly said about just about everything), "I not like it" (usually said after spitting something into my hand), "this too sow-y" (sour) among about a thousand other daily phrases. I cannot believe what happens one these little things start talking! Favorite toys include his train set, garbage truck, Pixar Toys cars (he has almost every one and TWO of some!), puzzles (mainly for throwing pieces on the floor rather than working), coloring crayons and books, and his paints and easel. OH, and let's not forget his piano, accordion and other musical instruments. We're still watching Lawrence Welk every Saturday night at our house. Guillermo actually asks to watch it! Luckily we enrolled in a Music Together class, so he has some musical outlet. I think he might be one that sticks with liking music, so I'm preparing myself for whatever instrument he chooses in later years (you know, getting my ears ready for the first few years of practice! I can just cross fingers that it's not violin since the sounds that children make on those are completely awful!).
We are trying to decide what to do about preschool next year. Most preschools won't take kids under 3 (they follow the state school cut-off of turning 3 by Aug 31) which means that Guillermo might not be attending more than our weekly co-op preschool until he's almost four. I feel both happy and sad about this--though we do have plans to try to do 2 day a week co-op classes next year rather than 1. So many things change when the babies enter our lives, no? I applied for and was offered a job a few months ago, and actually turned it down because I wasn't ready to leave my kiddo in daycare. I was surprised by my attitude, but ever since, each day spent at home has been more and more enjoyable!
That's all for now...until the next sporadic monthly post...
