Nothin' but LOVE

Month 44

Dear Jonas,

You turned 44 months old five days ago. You have been a very busy bee, what with all the coloring you do. You ask to get a picture printed out every day. Our printer is almost out of black ink because of you! You love coloring with markers and I am so proud that you put the tops on your markers and put them away in their special box.


The other day you threw a fit because you wanted these markers called "Blendy Pens" from Costco. You were screaming in the store and crying because you wanted them so bad. Well, you didn't get them and all the screaming and crying didn't help you. So, I showed you our change jar and told you to put any pennies, nickels, dimes or quarters you find, so that you can save up for your blendy pens. I wanted to teach you about saving and all that good stuff. Well, you finally had enough and we bought them. You were so happy because you bought them with the money you saved.

Next on our money earning agenda is to have a yard sale. You have sorted the toys you don't want anymore into three boxes. All we need now is good weather. It has been so hot.

I am sorry that we are stuck indoors most of the day. I have been looking for events or activities for us to do. But living in Arizona in the heat can be tough on a parent, or me, i guess.

Lately you have been asking me what ingredients are needed to make the foods we eat. We'll be seated at the table eating, then you ask, "What ingredients do you use to make pancakes?" So, I go through all the ingredients. This morning you asked dad what ingredients you needed to make people. You really got him there, he tried his best to answer that one.

Keep those questions rolling.

Love,
Mom
