Dear Livia,
Here are some random stories about you.
- When you can’t quite pronounce a word, you use stand-ins like “dada” and “nana.” Marshall, for example, is still “Dada.”
- I had a cut on my thumb, and I put a Band-Aid on it. You wanted a Band-Aid of your own, so I found a small one and put it around your finger. You were so excited that you couldn’t wait to show Marshall. You ran over to him and said, “Dada, I have a nana!”
- You do the most wonderful monkey impression. You smile and slowly wave your arms around, saying, “Ee, ee, ee!”
- You aren’t even two-years-old yet, but you use pronouns like a pro.
- You love to wear clothes that are too big for you, particularly our shoes and hats. You found your dad’s winter hat that other day. You put it on, and he said, “Hey, that’s my hat.” You pointed to yourself and said, “No, my hat!”
- You like to dance with your dad when there’s music on. You monopolize him by holding both of his hands.
Love,
Mom
