Dear Luca

Dear Luca,
Here we are at 27 months and you are full of new surprises every day. I love watching you grow into this incredibly special little person. You are SO loved. The terrible twos sometimes get the best of you, but this too shall pass and my little boy is growing up so fast! Slow down time! You are talking up a storm. Sometimes I feel like I am talking to a 4 or 5 year old, and people are still always commenting on how well you speak. We went out for our traditional frozen yogurt date on Friday after school and the lady could not believe she heard you speaking in Spanish and English as you asked for your favorite toppings (this time you wanted all things red). I am always so proud when I hear strangers make comments like that. On the way home from getting frozen yogurt you were telling me all about "transportation"...and yes you used that word. You were listing all of the different types of transportation that you know. Last night you were playing with a flash light in the dark and finding imaginary "pattapillars" and you even found an imaginary rattle snake in the toilet! EEEEK! You also ended up in mommy and daddy's bed after a "robot" scared you in your room. Your imagination is growing so much every day! You still love monster trucks, and of course sports. Playtime almost always involves some type of ball. I don't see that changing any time soon. You have also been a little stinker at the store, and you think it's quite fun to run away. And you are getting too fast! This week since we are home on fall break we are working on potty training. It's been interesting so far. You are awfully stubborn, even though I know you can do it! We will keep working...considering you just thought it was hilarious to pee on the carpet earlier. We love you so much Luca. You are truly a gift and a blessing and I can't imagine life without you. Never forget how much you are loved. YOU ARE LOVED.

Love,

Mommy
