Chepup

Dear Avril,

You are getting quite the sense of humour. You love to be tickled, fly around the room and to laugh. You already know how to count to 10 and mommy is teaching you the days of the week. your favourite food right now is pasta, especially kraft dinner with 'chepup' (much to your mother's chagrin) which is what you call ketchup. You still have a bit of a cough, but you are starting to get over the cold it seems like you've had for over a month! We are back swimming and you love the duckies and boats and noodles they have for kids to play with. This week was a little crowded and unfortunately the early years program 'gym time', with all of the balls and gym mats is only on fridays so we can't do that after swimming anymore as the hospital changed my schedule. The last week you've started spinning around and around and around and shaking your head back and forth - it's amazing to see you begin to explore yourself and your environment. the sweetest thing you do now is you can say 'love you'. i'll put you down for your nap with your 'blankie' and your 'piwow' and after i say 'naptime boo, love you' you pop your sucker out and repeat it back - it's one of the most heart melting things in the world.
