Dear Isaac and Eleanor,
This is the longest I've gone without writing to you since I started the blog. I don't know what I've been doing - avoiding snow mostly - we have so much here in NYC! But you've both been doing some cute things, so it's time to get back to it!
Eleanor, you have started eating solid foods, and you love them. So far your favorites are peas and pears, but you've also had squash, carrots and rice cereal and have eagerly eaten them all! You can almost sit up by yourself - a few seconds here and there - and you are constantly trying to roll everywhere and then get frustrated because your head gets in the way.
Isaac, you're having another "word explosion" and have added such words and expressions as "why?", "quickly" and "That's why!" Every day when you get home from school you update me on who got time out that day and why, and remind me that you're a good boy, so you don't get time out. You often think you're the boss of me, telling me not to sing, dance or talk to you. Power struggles are fun.
You're both still really cute.
Love,
Mommy

Please Eat Your ...
Dear Isaac,
You've always been a good eater. Recently though, you are veggie obsessed. Clearly, this is not a bad problem to have. I'm fairly certain, however, that you are one of the few two and a half year-olds who has to be told nightly that you can have more salad when you eat something else.
Here's to healthy habits starting young.
Love,
Mommy

What to do?
Dear Isaac,
After your nap today, we were trying to think of something we could do to get out of the house for a bit. I asked you what you thought would be fun and you told me you wanted to go to a birthday party. I guess you had so much fun at Celia's party on Friday you'd like to repeat the experience as often as possible. I told you we couldn't go to a party because we weren't invited to any and that we're not birthday crashers. Never fear, you had another idea, we could be "cake crashers". I guess you really just wanted the sweet parts of birthdays. You were happy enough with a trip to Barnes and Noble to get a "speshul tureet" and a few new books with a gift card you and Eleanor got for Christmas.
Love,
Mommy
