Robert




Robert is a tiny version of his dad.
He has just discovered the computer and the magic that is noggin.com. He taught himself how to navigate the site (with the mouse-r) and it keeps him entertained for hours.
Robert can dress himself - often inside out and backwards, but that's okay.

At least 50 times each day he says "Mommy, I love you." I want to save them all up for when he is a teenager and tells me that hates me.

Robert eats 4 things. Cereal (Life or Rice Krispies), Peanut Butter and Jelly, Grilled Cheese and chicken nuggets. He will eat pasta, but it must have just the right amount of red gravy. Spaghetti is not pasta, it's spaghetti. And Pasta must be straight lines (Penne) PB&J must be cut in Square or rectangles (no crust) and Grilled Cheese is cut in triangles.
His most favorite drink is Orange Juice. He drinks it all day long. He never gets sick.

Robert's best friends at school at Mikey and TJ. His teachers call them the 3 musketeers. To me, the three of them together are trouble.
Most school days, Robert brings home drawings on green construction paper. One day, he brought home a drawing on yellow paper - they ran out of green. For months, I thought his school only provided green paper for the children to draw on. I was wrong. Robert loves all things green. And the number 3 - "because I'm 3 years old."

For Christmas, Santa brought Robert a bike, but he hasn't figured out how to pedal yet. We're working on it.
He just figured out how to work the remote control, which has been a time saver for us!

Robert loves his brother and sister. He corrects you if you call them "the babies" and politely says "they're toddlers." He and Ava are always hugging and the three of them play together so nicely.

He's the big brother that any kids would want.
And I couldn't have asked for a better kid either.
