It’s not that he’s a bad kid, because he’s not. He’s just A LOT.<\/p>\n
A lot of energy.
\nA lot of questions.
\nA lot of demanding.
\nA lot of noise.
\nA lot of movement.
\nA lot of laughter.
\nAnd a lot of screaming.<\/p>\n
We joke that there’s no middle with Pipsqueak, he’s either on full speed, or he’s asleep.<\/p>\n
He’s absolutely ridiculous in every way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But over the past year, he’s changed so much, evolved from a small and fairly helpless child into a little person capable of so much.<\/p>\n
- \n
- He’s *almost* reading (the only thing holding him back is his lack of interest in actually doing it.)<\/li>\n
- He can do basic addition and subtraction in his head.<\/li>\n
- He can finally buckle and unbuckle his own carseat.<\/li>\n
- He makes his own breakfast and sometimes lunch, and once in awhile even breakfast or lunch for me.<\/li>\n
- He’s better on a bike than I’ve ever been, loves jumps, ramps, and hills.<\/li>\n
- He can almost do a proper cartwheel, and makes it all the way across the monkey bars (and sometimes can turn around and go back) in one try.<\/li>\n
- He still loves sharks, and most animals.<\/li>\n
- His laugh is infectious and knows just the right way to sweet talk his way out of any sticky situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
