Mr. One-derful!

Dear Skelly,

You are ONE. How in the world did that happen? This year has flown by amazingly fast and somehow you became this almost walking and trying to talk one year old. Your birthday was a smashing success and you loved seeing everyone.
Today you are almost walking- I think your record is about 5-6 steps You get so excited about this forward movement that you fall down. You love to clap and dance and are thrilled when anyone cheers for you which is often. You say Mama, Dada and this indescriminately and are really trying so hard to talk and say what you want. You are however, completely uninterested in sign language despite Momma's efforts.
We have just started back at school which is why this post is being written in two parts. I did begin this the day after your birthday but am now just finishing. Sorry buddy, this is going to be a long school year. Speaking of which, you have also developed a bit of separation anxiety forcing me to sneak out of the room at daycare. The other day I left you to play on the playground with your other friends and had to do a mad dash across the playground so that you would not see me leaving. I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but it just about breaks my heart to hear you cry as you notice me leaving. You are thrilled to see Doris again and all your school friends. Apparently you are already the class clown and led all of the children in a cup banging revolt at the snack table the other day. Silly boy and definitely your father's son.
Oh my sweet sweet boy I love you so. This year has flown by so fast and I am constantly being amazed at all of your achievements. You are growing up to be such a fabulous little person and we love you so!

Here's to another year!
Love,
Momma
