Julie's Boggle

To my precious little guy…

It’s been such a treat watching your progress this last year — and it has been a busy 12 months!

You’ve clocked up plenty of the big physical milestones: crawling, climbing, cruising, walking, while also bringing along the smaller-scale dexterity skills (using a spoon, switching off the oven timer, flicking lights on and off) in leaps and bounds!

I love seeing your growing comprehension of things I say, and the way your face lights up with pleasure when I ask you to do little things that I know you love to do, like fetching the mail, or opening a door.

You’re definitely not a baby any more – my chubby, easy-going little fellow has become a strapping toddler with a mind of his own in the last six months.  Still fairly laid-back about life generally, but with a much stronger sense of indignity when his will is thwarted!

I guess this is what they mean by the so-called “terrible twos”, and I’m sure that we’re going to butt heads over more than a few issues, but we’ll get through it!  You become more fun to be around with every day that passes, and I’m so looking forward to seeing more of your personality emerge as you put words to your expanding world.

Dear Jon, wishing you many happy returns!
