Summer's Close

Rohin -- you have grown into such a wonderful little toddler! You're such a happy and thoughtful little boy -- mommy and daddy are so proud of you. Your language has really developed -- and you talk all the time and even in pretty much complete sentences. Just today you said "eat pizza and sit outside" when telling us where and what you wanted for dinner.

You love love love to read books and are so cute to watch. You will sit on the sofa and read book after book and can recite parts of books. You seem to love the cat in the hat and other Dr. Seuss books.

We have been taking creek walks recently and you really enjoy going into the river next to our house and throwing stones in the creek. The whole family goes about once per week! You wade through the river by yourself and we walk all the way from the back of the house to the front in the creek. We also had some family friends over Labor day for a really long creek walk -- and you do a great job in the river and even picked up your own walking stick.

Recently, you have become amazingly adept at driving your car around the house. You love to also encourage Talin to ride on his carand you and your brother zoom around! You and Talin also love to chase each other around the house and squeal at the top of your lungs!

In the past couple weeks we have been doing so many things. We visited the farm and you go to see your grandma and grandpa who just came from abroad -- and you loved running around and helping to pick tomatoes. We rode the gator too! Speaking of gardening, you have been such a big help to daddy in the garden and not only love to pick tomatoes in the side garden but help water it too. We will pick butternut squash and peppers soon!

We also had a birthday party for Argent at Ticonderoga farms and we had such a good time there. You loved playing in this little outdoor boat with all the other children. We also took a tractor ride and you had a lot of fun you went down a BIG slide with mommy.

You both love to pretend now Rohin and play barber shop and pretend to cut each other's hair with a bubble blower that sounds like an electric shaver. You both also love taking baths together! Sometimes even daddy gets in the bath tub with both of you! You also love to sing happy birthday to wake up Talin sometimes in the morning.

Also, earlier we wrote about a small earthquake this summer -- well we also had a flood again! Our house was 360 degrees water and the water in the back was up to daddy's waist. Towards the end of the flood, we all went out and you and Talin played at the edge of the water in the backyard and had so much fu

Also, this past week (1st week of September), you started your pre-school. On your first day, mommy and daddy both took you for an hour and you did great -- playing with the kitchen toys and just loved it! On day 2, mommy took you and you were so good that you occupied yourself and mommy was able to leave you with your teachers for a little bit and you didn't get upset. We're so proud of you Rohin.
n!

We love you so much Rohin!
