Dear Av,

You're getting pretty excited for your birthday, and can even say the date 'march twenty-fiff!'. you're getting very loveable, often spontaneously giving hugs. you sat down in my lap on the weekend and said 'i like sitting in your lap. you're my friend.' simiarly, you gave lauren at daycare a big hug and said 'you're my friend', afterwards holding hands while playing. so cute! you also showed great concern when i bonked my knee: 'what's wrong daddy?' and then 'awww' and kissing it better!
