dear silas, today you are three!

so three years into your beautiful life...
  • you have lived in russia longer than you have lived in the USA
  • you LOVE regina spektor and ingrid michaelson and you sing all their songs
  • you throw a frisbee like a pro
  • you are so empathetic - you teach adults how to care for one another
  • you love kai
  • you love thomas the tank engine {and thanks to thomas you use many "british" terms}
  • you dance
  • you still like to use a lot of the sign language you learned before you could speak
  • the way your face lights up when you see your daddy is priceless
  • you prefer almond milk or soy milk to regular milk

  • you drink pomegranate juice like its going out of style
  • you love pete the cat, anything eric carle and move over rover!
  • i think you would live outside if we would let you
  • you know all your letters and you count to 20 - you are a learner!
  • you have a lot of questions but a true desire to understand - that is admirable.
  • you say "hello" to everyone you see, and you have been able to elicit a smile from any stranger since you were a little baby on the moscow metro
  • you eat salmon but not tuna, you love fresh mozzarella and avacado
  • you would be happy if we had a picnic dinner in the backyard every night
  • you are a good friend
