Day 219: 47 Months

Cruising to 4 years old, just one more month!You sleep with mommy and daddy now. It's not even worth the fight trying to get you in your own bed. We will work on that at the new house. I did read a British study recommending children sleep with their parents until five years old, at least someone approves!

You are really into Scooby Doo. You haven't been as interested in Dora lately.

You are totally into playing with your baby dolls. You put them in circle time and pretend like you are the teacher. You name your babies after daycare friends and assign them jobs like line leader, weather checker, caboose, etc.

You are getting better at writing your name.

You still love helping with Mitchell and you are so great with him.

We started doing this thing where we tell each other our favorite part of the day. You never forget even if it is beditme and we have to call or text daddy to find out what his favorite part of the day.

Best conversation this month (which happened totally randomly on the way to daycare):

Maya: "Why did your grandma die?"

Me: "Because she was old and that's what happens when we get old."

Maya: "Will she be well again?"

Me: "No, she is gone forever."

Maya: "So she is Baby Jesus?"

Me: "No, but she is with Baby Jesus."

Maya: "Oh, so she punishes us with Baby Jesus now." (this was not posed as a question)
