2 1/2 Years Old

The days sometimes seem long, but the years go by so quickly. It's hard to believe that my little boy is already 2 1/2 years old and that I'm only 6 months away from planning his 3rd birthday party. This entire school year has flown by so quickly for Eli and for me as well. We have been so pleased with the program at his school, and we are so impressed with all the things Eli learned this year. His language skills have exploded and his social skills have really blossomed. He is such a chatterbox now too! I love hearing stories about his days at school and daycare with his friends. I'm looking forward to spending this summer with him. We have big plans to do lots of fun things and I know its going to be lots of fun!
