Some Healthy Competition

Last Saturday, 3/10/12, you had your first bowling game. Not only did you enjoy pushing the ball down the lane to no end, but you also scored pretty well, especially for a 2 year old! Don't downplay this win too much; not only did you beat your 5 year old friend, Jack, but you beat his 30 year old Daddy as well. Congrats little one!

You had another first just today. Instead of sliding down your stairs on your little tushie like you normally do, you walked all the way down by yourself. I was ready to catch what was left of you at the bottom of the stairs, but you made it down in the exact same number of pieces you started at the top.

Your Mommy and I are in a daily state of disbelief at how quickly you learn and how much you grow. We're very cliched as parents I'm sure, but incredibly proud of you none-the-less!

Just a little advice free of charge, and worth every penny.

It is absolutely ok to feel however you are feeling—glad, sad, happy, mad—they're all ok. What's not ok is to act based solely on how you're feeling. You have to incorporate your intellect and reason into your action. Master this one thing and you'll be far ahead of the pack. Honest.
