Dear Asher...



Dear Asher,
Where do I begin??!! You are growing so fast and becoming your own little man! I cannot believe that you will be 3 in June!! Yikes!! You have one of the kindest, funniest, most sensitive personalities I have seen in a toddler. You LOVE to laugh (runs in the family) and you love to make others laugh. You simply enjoy life. Even when you are sick (which you have been for almost a week) you still love to be your adventurous, silly self. Here are some things going on with you now at 2 1/2 years old...

1. You LOVE sweets. You and Daddy love to eat pretty much any kind of hershey kisses and Daddy recently introduced you to his favorite chocolate- Toblerone. You obviously loved it!

2. You LOVE the new fort/slide that you got from both sets of grandparents for Christmas. The other day we spent about 4 hours outside. I love being outside and now that you have this new slide to play on- you love being outside too. You love to get to the top of the slide and roll down all of your cars.

3. You are really into monster trucks. You and Daddy will go on YouTube and watch tons of crashes and jumps and all kinds of monster truck videos. Hopefully Daddy will be able to take you to a real monster truck show soon =)

4. At the opposite extreme of monster trucks, you also like to watch Barney. It was weird how we even discovered it. I was browsing Netflicks and you saw the big purple dinosaur and wanted to see it. Now you like to watch a few minutes of that show or Bob the Builder every morning while drinking hot chocolate.

5. You are very close to being potty trained. This might be too much information but the other day you told me that your poop looked like a bunny. You are quite an imaginative little man!

6. You like to do puzzles and color. This is our version of school right now and it makes me really happy that you enjoy it.

7. You still like to build towers for your cars to go through. Almost every day you will ask Daddy and me to build towers with you. I love when you come in the room and say "play with me Mommy"- I seriously cannot resist! Your sweet little voice and adorable smile are irresistible!!

8. Here are some foods you like- apples, bananas, chicken (especially from chic-fil-a), blueberries, peas, brocoli, yogurt, prunes, peanut butter, cheese, macadamia nuts and cashews (you will pick through a whole can of nuts to find the ones you like), dip (any kind- guacamole, hummus), and of course you cannot forget that you love anything with sugar and you eat all of your chicken with these 3 condiments: ketchup, honey mustard, and ranch dip!!

9. You sing the ABC song about 20 times a day (at least) and you often make up your own words to it. Cracks me up!!

Asher, you continue to be a joy to raise. We love the silly and sweet things that you do. You are very good at stalling before bed and I sometimes smile at the reasons you make up for why you cannot fall asleep yet. You love Daddy and me to read you the story of Noah in your bible because you love the picture of the animals and the rainbow. You make us smile everyday. You are a great big brother and such a blessing as a son. We pray that you will follow the Lord with your whole heart!

Love,
Mommy
