Whelp, as you can see from the distance between the date on this post and the previous post, you might think we just forgot about you, but we haven't. I personally am past feeling bad. However, I will try to do better. I feel renewed in continuing to document, from my perspective, how you are changing every day.
So let's see... you were not quite 2 years old last time I wrote. You're obviously speaking much more, but you're having major problems with multiple sounds. In particular you have issues with F and V sounds (understandable since they're the same mouth shape); you also have issues with TH sounds, and a few others. The worst part is, you substitute all your trouble sounds with the S sound. So you if you say something we don't understand, we have run the sentence through our head multiple times, putting in the various sounds you meant to say instead.
You do love to talk, but I wouldn't say you (yet) that you have the "gift" of gab. I just love it when you tell me about your day, but your thoughts aren't completely organized so you're all over the place; or some little thing you tell in such a way that makes it seem like it's the highlight of your day.
You usually get excited to go swimming or go to the pool, but you're still pretty scared of the water. I can't decide if you're just getting excited because we've made it sound exciting, or if you really want to learn to swim. When it's time to leave the pool, I'll ask if you want to watch me dive a few times and you always say yes. So I tend to think you want to swim, and play, and splash, but I think you're still ruled by your fears. You do practice sometimes in the bath, and you're much better at getting your face wet and dealing with it.
Your current favorite show is Curious George. You like Monsters, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, you love Monster House.
You've really started playing with your toys, you've got some stories goin' on that I can't quite hear. For Christmas you got your first real "play set". It's a castle that came with two nights, a lion, and a "bad guy." You absolutely loved it at first, but as with everything, it's played with less often.
We took you to Elitche's Gardens for your first (of hopefully many) amusement/theme parks. You rode a rocking boat, motorcycles, boats, semi-trucks, and even the Ferris Wheel. In the past two Christmases, we went out of town, to Dillon and Estes Park, and you loved sledding.
It was some time in the last 6 months or so you started showing your ugly side. You have got some anger issues. There are times when you get in trouble and you start growling and punching whatever is close by. I can see in your eyes there is a lot of anger in there, I just hope we learn how to deal with it.
