Chasing Butterflies

I asked you yesterday morning if you had fun at Abuella's house chasing the butterflies all over the yard. You nodded without prompting and with such gusto that I knew you understood what I was asking. You have such an understanding of the spoken language. I'm waiting for that day when you just burst out speaking paragraphs! I think you'll skip the words and sentences and head straight to paragraphs and short stories!

This weekend your Poppy went into the hospital to get his breathing fixed. We went to visit him on Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately it involves an elevator and they give you such an uneasy feeling. At first I thought it was claustrophobia from the closing doors, but your nervousness doesn't seem to kick in until the elevator moves, so I think you're afraid of the feeling that the floor is moving. Hopefully you'll grow out of that scared feeling or you'll never be able to fly - and we all know how much you LOVE airplanes! Zoom, zoom!

You were so sweet last night when daddy was putting you to bed. You laid on the bed with your big Duckie and Mr. Rabbit and, of course, Billo-Billo. You would sit up and give me a kiss and lay back down and then sit up again and give daddy a kiss. It was so sweet!

Today you'll go to Grandma's house even though Poppy is still in the hospital. She can't wait to see you and it will give her a chance to stay home for a while before she goes to visit Poppy tonight. You and I will probably go with her. Poppy really misses you!

This weekend is supposed to be a nice weekend so I'm hoping we can spend a lot of time outside and you can run and run and run all around!

I love you little man...
