• re-enacting every fall & bump for us. "cedar fall like that" & then staying in his landing position until we see it.
• loves holding baby ezra sparrow all by himself. "mama, let go, please!"
• loves coloring & wants everyone to draw airplanes for him
• learned how to jump & now does it all the time
• had an airplane cake for his birthday & got a mr. potato head from mama & papa
• refers to daniel's mom, always, as "oma-dahhhh-ling"
• says the word "please" for way longer than necessary, "cedar have ____ pleeeeeeeeease?"
• has memorized bob dylan's forever young & likes to sing it before bed [see video below!]
• still sweet, gentle & cute as can be, but now interspersed with toddler tantrums & stubbornness
