2005-01-04 - 8:52 p.m. Merry Christmas 2004 hi sweetie: The holidays have come and gone, and we celebrated it at your Nanas and NuNu's with your two cousins and their parents (Uncle Pablo and Aunt Lisa) and Ant-T. You had a wonderful time, and got to play in the snow, get pulled on a sled, and make snow angels. They have fully finished basement with vinyl floor that makes a perfect place to race cars and scoot along on ride-on tractors. Your cousin Ellie is changing and has lost some roundness on her face, and your cousin Eddie and you are starting to learn to share. You are starting to grasp the concept of Santa, but we are working on grasping the concept of Christmas. It's not just about the presents and the candy and the cookies and the tree. It is really about giving. Your dad and I often have to restrain ourselves in giving you too much, and what I did with that urge was to make you a blanket and sew you a superhero cape. Eddie and Ellie got up at around 5 a.m., so that made the rest of us a little tired during the day but on the whole it was relaxing and a lot of fun. You celebrated Christmas, Chanukah, Diwali, Ramadan, and Kwanzaa at school and had a holiday program where you sang songs and your classmates read to us about these holidays. You sing the songs at home, but I think you were a little shy and maybe excited that we were there to sing during the program. But you sat nicely and smiled and were very, very cute. Miss Carolyn, your teacher, told us that you laid out the decimal system, which is remarkable for a 3 1/2 year old. You can not only count to 10, but you are starting to grasp that the numbers stand for actual quantities. You can visualize a handful of letters, and some of them have sounds associated to them. You can draw "your letter" (the letter "Q"). Geography is a little new to you. I am happy that you enjoy your work. If there is anything that I wanted you to learn, it's that learning is fun and interesting and best when it's hands on. And you seem to really be enjoying it.
