Hey, LB!
What's new? Are you still small? Pretending to be helpless so your parents will do everything for you?
I have a plan to keep picking [The Small Boy] up until he is a grown man. I figure if I pick him up all the time as he gets bigger and bigger, I will just get stronger and stronger til I can carry grown-ups around like they are babies.
But then I was thinking, who will carry me?
Then I thought, my brother! So you need to be sure that your Daddy keeps picking you up all the time as you get bigger so that someday he will be able to carry me.
Love,
Your aunt CK

Hi Aunt CK. Lots of things new here. I've learned that I can run instead of walk and climb instead or staying grounded...it's the best. My favorite possession is my Elmo toothbrush. I prefer to carry it everywhere. The other day we lost it and had to comb the house calling "Elmo...Elmo..." Eventually it was found thank goodness. I enjoy taking walks outside and discovering things about nature. Yesterday I collected Sweetgum seeds and crunched leaves under my little garden boots. I like your plan about being picked up but Mommy insists on making me walk almost everywhere now - I don't know if I like it though. Well, I'll talk to you later. I'm going to go munch on some Wheat Chex and start the day.
