Ted’s forty-third month is, we suspect, his last month as an only child. He’s excited about it. He was also very excited about Halloween the whole month. He’s an excited-about-life kind of kid.
Here’s Ted at a local farm. His preschool had a field trip there so we could check out the animals, go on a hay-ride and then pick out some pumpkins. It was fun for me, as I got to meet his teachers and his class-mates.
We moved furniture around a bit to clean our carpets and put Ted’s picnic table underneath our kitchen table. Ted immediately started dining there. We don’t let him eat there for every meal, but he does seem to like having his own personal covered dining space.
Ted’s Grandpa Al came down to visit during Ted’s 43rd month. They hung out, played and made cookies together. He also introduced Ted to the wonder that is beater-licking.
He’s started to read just a little, too. He knows his letters and many of the sounds they make. If we push him a little, he’ll sound them out and try to form words out of them.
