SummerLove

Open letter to Summer, at 2 1/2 years old.

Dear Summer,

There are some things I don’t want to forget about our time together at Brooklyn Bridge Park. Although I took plenty of pictures and videos, there are just some things you can’t capture in stills and seconds.

• At 2 and a half years old, you are almost just as big as some 4 year old’s.
• You are very independent little lady, you like to be hands-on with no help when it comes to learning a new skill/toy
• You are a fast-learner. Today you flew a kite all on your own
• You are learning how to share more, with some prompting
• You are very active and full of energy
• You prefer parallel play which means you play next to other children but not necessarily with them
• You love white rice from the Chinese food spot (I must agree it was steamed to perfection)
• You like water in your own terms. You’d rather sit in a calm pool then be splashed in the face by unpredictable sprinklers
• You love bubbles (what kid doesn’t, right?)
• You are also an iPhone expert at this age, and seem to be exhibiting the early signs of being a technology addict
• You call your mother “Momma” and “Mommy” and your father “Papa”
• Your favorite movie is Toy Story (The original)
• You like toys from the vending machines
• You are too big for a stroller now
• You wear a size 9 in shoes
• You have the cutest walk and the funniest run, since you are still slightly bow-legged
• Your smile reminds me that God makes breathtaking miracles

Here’s to more sun, smiles and discoveries,

Your Godmother Tica
