Shane letter, August 2012

Dear Shane-
We have had a great summer together, and I can honestly say together! Mommy was home for most of the summer and we had a blast. I am now back at work full time and I miss you terribly, seeing you for a few minutes in the morning and few hours in the evening don't seem to be enough. Daddy shaved your head this summer and your hair is just starting to grow back. Daddy loved the haircuts, mommy not so much.  Shane, you are starting to come into your own more and more every day. While you and Jackson remain joined at the hip you are starting to do more thinking for yourself and doing more independent things. For example, last night you found a red purse of mine and decided that you wanted to cut up pieces of paper to put inside it- you carried that thing around with you all night and then in the morning you were also looking for it. Daddy came home the other night and you asked him without being provoked- Daddy What did you get for the grill tonight? It was so cute!!!!!




You my dear Shane are now fully potty trained!!!!! Yeah! We are all so excited, you are doing a great job with that and haven't had an accident in weeks. It is wonderful, we can send you off to pre-school without having to worry about the potty! You are also very proud of yourself and you tell me all of the time when you have to go potty and what exactly you did on the potty- kind of silly but cute none the less.

We went on vacation last week to N.H. and you had a great time. We went up to NH late so that we could attend the Kilday family reunion. It rained out but you and Jackson had a great time with Susan's kids and playing with the barn and balls in the rain- you were the hit of the party!You have done a great job with the swimming and you swim under water, do flips, try to do handstands etc. In fact, two weeks ago when we were at the pool someone asked me where you learned to swim b/c you were doing such a great job! Vacation was lots of fun. We went to the beach a lot and of course you went swimming every day we were at the beach. You liked to start "collections" mostly of rocks, you collected them from the beach and in the water and had a fun time showing Nana your collections. We stayed at South Down Shores and the hobo train from the Weirs goes by so we could wave hello to the train a few times per day. As for adventures....we had lots of them. We visited Clark's Trading post and saw the circus, the trained bears and you and daddy had a crazy time on the water spray bumper boats- you loved it! and didn't want to get out of the boat. We rode the train and saw wolfman, you got your picture taken as a pirate with a pot of gold next to you and we had a great time. We also visited Story land - you got your face painted like spider man and then we drove up farther North to Santa's Village one day. It was a great vacation and Daddy and I loved spending so much time with you.
This weekend is another long weekend- Labor Day is on Monday so we will have another day with you again:-).

Shane, i can't believe that you are almost four years old! You are very into Spider man at the moment and I just got you some spider man sheets and a spider man costume for Halloween. Even though you are going to be four years old you are still my little dolly! You like your snuggle time and some times you come over to me and ask for a snuggle- Shane you can always have a snuggle. I love you Shane Kilday- you are Mommy's sun, moon and stars- that means you are everything to mommy.
Love always-
Mommy
