I've been thinking lately about the wonderful boy Theo is growing into, and so, as he finishes his fortieth month, I thought I would share some of his world. He has a wonderful imagination and sense of humor. He embraces silliness as all kids should, but I particularly appreciate this about him. He loves to have dance parties, one of my favorite silliness outlets as his mom. He has, as always, incredible verbal skills and has become quiet the accomplished rhymer of late. He's even started recognizing words on signs and asking "what does E-N-T-E-R spell?" He even understands the concept of zero. Of course, as three-year-olds will, a barrage of questions about why and what are part of daily life. He's tremendously creative - right now its all about drawing whales in oceans and building planes and bridges with his duplos. One of his favorite games right now is "synchronized diving" which involves jumping off the couch, either alone or with a playmate - but one at a time - and splashing into the carpet sea and looking for sea creatures, while sometimes pretending to be a mermaid. He is a great big brother and likes to help by finding safe toys for Franklin to play with. They make each other laugh uproariously and Theo says Franklin is a cutie beauty. More than anything, I appreciate his energy and enthusiasm. Sometimes this can be overwhelming, and he runs around the house spazzing out while I'm trying to have a quiet moment or get something done, but his joy of learning and enthusiasm for life's small pleasures also keep me laughing, smiling, and wondering.

Sounds like you might have a marine biologist in your midst. Or perhaps a poet? The possibilities are endless!
