_______ at __________

Arrow at 2 months:  You are smiling a lot and starting to coo.  But your coo is more of an "uuuu".  You are a great person to spend the day with because you still sleep a lot and are very easy.  We go on walks, sit around the house and cuddle and meet friends.  Today we went on the school bus with Tonio on a field trip and tomorrow we will meet Manuela for lunch.  You are fun and I just want to eat you up.  Its hard because I know these days will end so soon and I will not remember them.  I can barely remember when Tonio was your age.   I just know that I am the happiest in my life right now and I feel so lucky to have you Arrow. 

Tonio at 4 years, 8 months:  You are my sweet little boy.  Sometimes I just look at your face and I just kiss it all over.  Lets see- you are not the adventurous kid.  You didnt really swim in Mexico because you didnt want to sink and you dont want to learn to ride a two wheeler.  While in Mexico, your dad's brothers said he was very competitive as a kid and cheated a lot.  Maybe that is you.  I think you dont want to do things that you might not be good at right away.  On the other hand, you are very smart.  You learn things quickly like counting to 30 in Chinese, knowing where many countries are and math.  I like walking to school with you and Arrow in the morning.  I love holding your hand.  We also have our weekly dates at the cafe- it would be a lot nicer if your eyes did not glaze over when the tv was on but I will take what I can get. 

Miguel at 5 years, 8 months:  You will try anything.  You did the triathlon, you did a magic show at the talent show at your school on Saturday, you will do cannon balls, and you will try all sorts of new food.  I love that about you Miggy- your sense of adventure.  You have become really good at Spanish and getting better at reading.  You are amazingly sweet with little kids, especially with Arrow.  You are always giving Arrow hugs and kisses and today you helped me give him a bath.  In Mexico, the cooks had a little boy, Santiago age 2, and you played so sweetly with him, sharing toys and dancing with him.  Its funny because there was this pure sweetness that came out while with Tonio it is non-stop competition.  Arrow already beams when he sees you because you are so nice and loving to him.  I love it.  My beautiful boy.
