You are starting to play more. You like blocks and small figures of big bird, Elmo, cookie monster, etc.

You can do a somersault.

You will no longer keep a bib on.

You will smile when I asked you to smile. It's a different smile though where you scrunch your nose up.

You are constantly on the go getting up on all the couches, trying to open all doors and touching every counter or table.

You had your first kiss by Francessca at a football game and you also ran into her the next week at the park with Grammie.

Shy around people you don't know.

You can stack your blocks.

You are becoming bossy-pointing your finger where you want everyone to sit or pulling us where you want us to go.
