dear stover boy:

a few things i want to remember about who you are right now:

- you want to be just like your sister and it drives her nuts. if she wants milk but changes her mind to oj, you do exactly the same.
- we're actively working on listening the first time!
- you always hold the doors for mom
- you are almost daily badgering mother by 7:30 AM to watch a show. your current request is busytown mysteries.
- you share well with friends but are caught taking toys from the baby often
- mom can't help wondering if you have a hearing problem with your constant 'what?' use
- you are trying hard to decrease thumbsucking as mom has requested
- you earn quarters (which is almost always spent buying gum) by folding the towels load
- you still need a nap but you're up reading books for hours if you do
- per your own initiative, you are diaperless at night
- resist mom styling your hair
- a new digital clock helps you wake up at 6 AM daily and not before then
- have this hilarious voice dad describes as what a girl imitating a deep boy voice would sound like
- you are enough like your father (in looks and personality) that i accidentally call you by his name
- you melt my heart with your 'cute' compliments
