I went to your house early Monday morning October 8. Your mom
was at work and your Dad was getting ready for work. You had awakened early and
we went out for an early cold am walk & swing in your "bear suit" . The other picture is one your Dad took
but it illustrates you love to swing. You & I went to the mall for lunch
and “window shopping”. You are very social and love to interact with other
people. About 2:00 am Tuesday morning while your Mom was at work, you woke up
screaming and crying. It was about 3:30 before you got back to sleep. This was
very unusual event. You were very hard to comfort and your Dad and I weren’t
sure what was going on. Maybe you had a bad dream? Finally after a dose of
ibuprofen, a bottle and lots of cuddling, you went back to sleep. I wish you
would never have a reason to cry. But since that is unlikely, I hope you always
have people who love you around to comfort you when you cry. And I am confident
that is very likely. You already engage with other people in such a kind way
you will attract other kind people to you. And of course there are many of us in your
who will “always love you no matter what you say or do”. Because Tuesday was a Jewish
holiday your school was closed so we spent another whole day together. We played with your toys, went
to Gymboree twice and did a lot of swinging with some neighbors. Again…you are
quite social! You were ready to stop swinging until some neighbors arrived and you clearly wanted to stay as long a possible! Thursday morning you came to our house for breakfast before school.
You enjoyed seeing your dog Sunday. Her date to return home to you was delayed
for several weeks due to a flea problem at our house. But she is going home today! If you're not napping maybe I'll get to see you today too!
You were SO happy to see your teacher Stephanie when we got to JCC. I’m glad
your parents have given you the opportunity to go to “mother’s day out” twice a
week. All the more people who know and love you! The next two weeks I won’t be spending
as much time with you as I did this week. I will be going to visit the Brown grandchildren in
Clarksdale, Mississippi next weekend and then spending a long weekend with your
great-grandmother in Mobile the next weekend. But I am looking forward to being
at your house Halloween night! Your mom found you the most adorable costume…a
very frilly skeleton! You will be the cutest "trick or treater" in Chace Lake!
