I really can't believe how much you have grown up this summer. I mean really, you started off the summer my little boy, attached to my side and now you are this fearless boy, who is so brave and is ready for anything new.
Today, at your friend's birthday party, you told me you wanted to go play on the playground, then told me that you didn't want me to come with you!! This was a first and I must say, it stung just a little bit....but it is also great how much you are growing up.
You have gone to summer camp, for two weeks, and it has been the best thing for you. You are so confident, willing to try new things. This summer at the park, you are unstoppable, I mean I watch you in complete awe as you climb and jump off of things.
Some of the amazing things you are doing on your own now...
-dressing yourself, this is a biggie. Many mornings you still want me to dress you, but you can do it and love showing me how you put your clothes on
-putting on your own socks
-brushing your own teeth and doing a pretty descent job
-getting your own bowl, spoon, milk, and cereal for breakfast. You are practicing pouring yourself the cereal and sometimes the milk.
-going pee on the big toilet, standing up. We never thought you would give up your little blue toilet.
-getting the stool when you need to reach something high up, like a light switch.
-opening up the cabinet and taking what you want out for a snack
-able to open some of the smoothie packets
-fold your clothes...love watching you do this, you "shake" the shirt or pants and then gently place them on your bed as you fold.
-put your clothes away
-write some letters and attempt to write your name
I know I am forgetting some things and of course this is such a short list of all the things you can do. You are a pretty amazing kiddo.
Love,
your mama
