Dear Great-Grandma,
How are you doing? I have a cold this week, but I am doing okay. I chipped a tooth on our driveway, though. It is a very little chip and you can’t really notice it unless you are looking. Mommy says it doesn’t matter much because it is my baby tooth and I will lose it anyway. Did you ever chip a tooth? I think it makes me even more special.
Mommy also says she needs to cut my hair but she doesn’t want to. She likes the curls at the back of my neck and she doesn’t want them to go away. I don’t really care what happens to my hair. It is not long enough to bother me except when Mommy tries to comb it. I guess it does bother me then.
Grandma and Grandpa came to visit me on Sunday. They brought a toy from when Grandpa was a little boy. It was a wooden stick with little discs that fit on it. You could take them all off and put them all back on again in a different order. I had lots of fun playing with it. I also had fun showing Grandma and Grandpa the bubbles in the yard. There are bubbles that grow all over our yard, did you know that? I will tell you about them. They are white and they grow on long green stems. They are all over the place. If you touch them they don’t disappear like some bubbles. They are soft and fuzzy. They don’t taste very good. The fuzzy bits come off in your mouth and don’t want to get back out. But if you blow on them or wave them in the air the fuzzy bits come off and float away, and that is very pretty.
Oh, Great-Grandma, I have to tell you what happened to me on Thursday. Mommy took me to the doctor and he looked at me and asked Mommy some questions and then they took me to another room and they put a needle in my arm and held it there. It hurt and I cried and cried, but then they were done and they put a band-aid on it and Mommy gave me some cookies and I felt better. Why would they do that? Has anybody ever done that to you? Mommy told me that the doctor wanted to find out if I have something called celiac disease that means I can’t eat wheat. Now we have to wait a few weeks to find out. I will let you know what they say.
Yesterday my Aunt Martha was here to visit me. She played with me all morning and I showed her everything I can do. I rode my rocking horse and stacked my stacking cups and threw my ball and bounced my balloon and showed her books and trucks and my car that I ride and we had a good time. Then I took a nap and when I woke up she was gone. It seems like everything interesting happens while I am sleeping. Sometimes I try not to sleep but I always have to give up and go to sleep after a while.
Speaking of sleep, Mommy wants me to go and take a nap now. She is probably planning to go outside and play without me, so I will see if I can stay awake and make her bring me out too. Have a good week!
Love,
Isaac
