Bob Bilda, et al


Dear sweet, precious Hagen,

At two and a half years old, here are some things you're into:



1) BOB THE BUILDER - Or, as you call him, Bob Bilda. Bob is your favorite show, your favorite character, and your favorite song. You walk around the house all the time, singing, "Bob Bildaa... Can 'e bid it? YES WE CAN!" Sometimes, to entertain ourselves, your dad and I will ask you very seriously, "Can we build it?" just to hear you holler, "YES WE CAN!"Goes without saying that your sister hates this show, so we're on a perpetual Bob/Care Bears rotation around these parts. It's a toss-up as to which is more annoying in bulk. Never mind: it's the Care Bears...except for Grumpy Bear...I love him. I AM him.

2) PIXING T'INGS - Related to Bob Bilda, you're really into home repairs and construction equipment. Screwdrivers, hammers, creating your own imaginary power tools out of unrelated objects. Also: building "rocket ships" out of Legos. Any structure that's more than 3 Legos high is a rocket ship.




3) EATING A SNACK. WEARING A HAT. EATING A SNACK WHILE WEARING A HAT.



4) ASKING "WASSAT NOISE?" - All the time with this. You cup your hand around your ear and ask us "Wassat noise?" even when it's absolutely apparent what the noise is... like when you're 12 feet from a drum kit.

You might grow up to be an amazing builder, but you'd make a shoddy detective.


Also: fruit rope, peach yogurt, keeping your clothes on, avoiding the water, being held by your mom, trucks, planes, cars, anything with a motor, trains!, look-and-find books, taking things from Laney, pretending to be a puppy (still), monkey noises, ice cream, noodles, saying "Can't catch me" and running to your closet (every time), climbing the ladder to the treehouse, your friends Finley and Cooper (or "Fiffy" and "Cupper"), knocking down anything Laney builds and giggling about it. 

Love,
Mom
