EEEEE OOOOO

Dear Avril,

Thank you for the wonderful Father's Day presents. The drawing on the card, the collected stones and shells, the car craft and the handprint will all go in my treasury of things you made. It was great to have a whole weekend with you after I missed you so much when I was in Baltimore. The daycare is wonderful though and sent some photos of you which cheered me up - I've never been gone from you so long before! Your grandpa 'Papa' and Grandma were visiting this weekend for Auntie's convocation. You were so good at the ceremony, everyone around was charmed by you pointing to photos and saying 'baby'. You eventually got a bit squirmy, but had a little nap while everyone applauded. You've been learning words like crazy. You were playing in the dirt in the backyard and I only had to say 'dirt' 4 or 5 times and you got it. Likewise with Papa, that seemed to come natural. I think 'meow', 'eyes' are the newest. You love to make the firetruck noise and hop back and forth from foot to foot in a little jig 'eeee oooo, eeee oooo'. It's very cute. You loved playing in the backyard this weekend, although you got a couple of scrapes on your legs, but it didn't seem to bother you.
