Dear Marshall,<\/p>\n
Here are some stories about you.<\/p>\n
One Friday morning you asked me if Livia would be going to see Vov\u00f3 as usual. I said no, and explained that Vov\u00f3 wasn’t feeling well. You asked if we could bring her a drink with some medicine. I said we didn’t have any medicine for her. So you asked if we could bring her some food. What a sweet child you are!<\/p>\n
You still have your own special names for certain things. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are “first meal,” “second meal,” and “last meal.” You also sometimes refer to items using a generic name first, followed by a specific one. So, for example, you might ask for “the drink that is called juice.” It’s really cute.<\/p>\n
In August we went shopping for a new backpack. You weren’t too enthusiastic about the trip. Then you saw an R2-D2 backpack, and you got so excited. No other bag would do. You had to have the R2-D2 pack and the matching lunch bag.<\/p>\n
At your annual checkup you had an interesting conversation with your doctor.<\/p>\n
Doctor:<\/strong> Do you sleep well at night? The doctor pronounced you articulate and imaginative. She probably says that about all the kids, but I was nearly overcome with parental pride nonetheless. You really are a great kid.<\/p>\n Love,<\/p>\n Mom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Marshall, Here are some stories about you.

\nMarshall:<\/strong> Yes. But sometimes I don’t.
\nDoctor:<\/strong> Do you have trouble falling asleep sometimes?
\nMarshall:<\/strong> Yes.
\nDoctor:<\/strong> What helps you fall asleep?
\nMarshall:<\/strong> I have a ladybug and two foxes. The ladybug likes to eat chocolate and ladybug lollipops. They’re invisible.
\nDoctor:<\/strong> What’s your favorite food?
\nMarshall:<\/strong> Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And jelly sandwiches. And peanut butter and jelly bagels.<\/p>\n
