Where last year I captured every day of Colton's life with a daily photo and email, this year I did it every month. Here is my email to the group on 5/23. What a year! Year 2 was even better than year 1. Colton continues to
amaze us everyday with all the new things he does or is interested in.
He still loves trucks - firetrucks as you know, but big over-sized
construction vehicles are his current obsession. We have lots on our
street right now due to some roadwork, and Colton says, 'dig dig.' But
when he can't see them outside, he is watching them on YouTube. He is
counting to 22 per his teachers yesterday, knows all his colors, his
letters and is on his way to being bilingual. Well, he could be
multilingual due to watching YouTube videos is German, Spanish, French,
and Czech. Either way, his words sometimes sound foreign to us, but he
is getting good at communicating. One of my proudest moments recently
was reading a teacher's evaluation of Colt. She said that he is great
during circle time and has become a role model for the other students.
To all you teachers out there...there is nothing more fulfilling
than hearing something positive about your kid. It made my day, week,
and year. He still loves to pray at dinner together and claps when he's
done. We started a nightly puppet show in Colton's crib with his stuffed
animals. Daddy is always elephant and does an amazing impression that
it makes us both laugh uncontrollably. It makes you realize that simple
things in life can bring such joy and how seeing things through a two
year old's eyes is currency for the soul. We love all of you and this
little guy so much. Thanks for being a part of another year!
