Dear Etrain

Dear Etrain,

This post and this day was for you (how can I not make a whole blog post about your first Monster Jam?!). Anyone who knows you well, knows how much you LOVE monster trucks. You carry them everywhere. You play with them daily. They are your number one toy. We even got you a Grave Digger Monster Truck ornament for our Christmas tree this year. We don't let you watch many videos, but your treat is monster truck videos. After you go #2 on the potty you get to watch a few minutes of Monster Jam. When you get your hair cut, we let you watch monster truck videos because you'll stay still for the hair dresser...and it makes you look forward to getting your hair cut.

Dear Etrain,

You are such a fun little dude. Your personality is just bursting with fun. You are so sweet and affectionate, but also silly and playful. Other than toddler tantrums, I wish you could stay this age forever (and I suppose your tantrums aren't really even that bad). I suppose I wish that of every stage of your life, but it just makes me sad to think that one day you won't want me to carry you, or hold you, or read you books and sing the ABC song before bed. The older you get, the more I really cherish these blog posts. I go back and read them all the time. I've even gone back and added in more videos lately. For some reason I recorded them, but then didn't post them on here, which is so strange because they are the best. Most times we/you aren't doing anything special at all, but it's a moment I otherwise wouldn't remember without it. That said, that's pretty much what this past month was like. Nothing really super exciting happened, but we had a lot of fun anyway.
