Dear Shane,
My little Shane, you aren't so little any more. You are getting bigger every day. Even Grandma (you call her Gamma) says that you seem taller every time that she sees you. You Mr. Shane are getting to have a great vocabulary and are putting 3 word phrases together- you say very often I like xxx, yesterday while you were eating your lunch you said to me: "Mommy, I like pasta". (sometimes when I work from home I get to have lunch with you and your brother).
The spring weather is definitely here and we try to spend as much time outside as possible. Trish takes you out almost every day to an activity- you love visiting the farm and when you aren't at the farm you like to play farm at home. I found some farm animals and you and Jackson LOVE to play farm with you barn and animals. Last night we read a book about animals and you knew almost every animal and the sound that they make. One day when your friend Kelly was over you, Jackson, Kelly and Trish made cookies- you especially liked pressing the button on the food processor to mix up the dough! After play group yesterday, Trish took you to meet a policeman, while you didn't want to get into his car, you made a GREAT hat that you have been wearing since. In fact, last night at supper you wouldn't take the hat off- it looks very cute on you. This month, you rode your bike outside and loved it! we went around the block and i think you couldn't have stayed on that bike all day- mommy pushed you since the pedalling was a little hard but you loved ringing the bell on that bike! Like your brother, you also like to ride your inside bike around the house, fall down and fix the bike. You are very good at fixing things and Daddy lets you help him whenever he is working on something.
At the park- you still love the big slide and the swings- last week Nana and her friend Joan started a new game with you on the swings- big guy up in the sky...... so I have kept doing that and throw in an underdog and you laugh with the deepest laugh there is, sometimes even screaming with excitement. The other day at the park you were playing with a little boy and waited for him to go down the slide together- I know it doesn't sound like much but as your mommy I was very happy that you were interacting and playing with other kids as you and Jackson tend to stick together like glue sometimes. When you run you have the cutest little run and your arms fly all over the place, I know this will stop soon and your arms will move in a swift motion but for now, I love to watch you run like a little toddler. You started swimming lessons this month Shane, and so far so good. You seem to really love the water and you laugh a lot during the class. While you don't really like being dunked under water you are a good sport about it and just smile- i think your favorite part of the class is the free swim when you get to go down the slide!
You know your ABCs very well know and can sing them without help. You also can sing other songs that you learn at school and play group. You are working in counting: at the moment you count 1, 2, 3,4, 9 and that is as far as you like to go. Anita and Jen from early intervention continue to be impressed by your speech and all of the words you are putting together. Nana was telling you a pretend story the other day and at the end of the story you clapped and said to her: "and no book Nana"- as to say, hey Nana that was pretty good for just making that up.
I love you Shane Kilday, your mommy's sun, moon and stars. I thank God every night that he gave you to us. All my love, Mommy
