23 months and counting

A letter from Alex, send by the way of Julia. (he's a good typer for 23 months)...

 

what Alex and mommy do when daddy's away...

 

sometimes I try on daddy's clothes - they're too big now, but one day, i'll be borrowing your cool-assed tshirts like the one from ben sherman

 

we have a bath. well I do, mommy hates baths. maybe one day i'll learn how to have a shower like you do.

 

we plan our trip across canada. i'm going to have my diaper changed in most of the provinces. I don't want to tell you this now, but mommy is making me - I'll also likely cry in all of the provinces. But the good news is that I'll also smile when you take pictures of me at all of the crazy tourist trap sites.

 

we sit in the karmann ghia. mommy says that i can never drive it. but i know that one day, when you're both at work, i'll come home from french school at lunch, and steal the keys to take it for a spin. hopefully you won't even notice.

 

most days we go for a walk with sheba that big black dog. she's alright. sometimes though she barks and i have to stop sleeping, but then i realize it's another false alarm and I go back to sleep. I like how sheba sniffs me when we come home from riding in the truck, i i think she likes me.

 

on fridays mommy and I go offroading. she said she didn't want to join a stupid baby group, so we joined this group instead. it rocks. i get to bounce around in the back, and mommy laughs and screams when we hit big bumps. it was kind of like that time at a+w, but mommy was faking it then. she spends a lot on carwashes so you don't know about all this fun we're having.

 

other than that, i just wait around till you come home. you always give me a big smile that i really like. and i like to fall asleep on your tummy, it feels soft and warm.

 

mommy keeps telling me stuff. like how i have to be nice to girls when i grow up, like my daddy is. and how i can do anything i want to do. maybe i will be an astronaut, i look pretty good in my winnie the pooh astronaut outfit, eh?

 

mommy also tells me fabulous tales about this cold place far far away where we will one day go. they have carseats that take you to the top of a big hill, then we get to slide down. mommy says it gets so cold that I will probably have to wear two snowsuits. she also says that we'll have hot chocolate and have something called a 'fire', and eat some kind of little bite sized cheese turds. mmm. turds. i want to go to this place, but mommy says not yet, we have to wait for the snow to come. i don't really remember snow. daddy - do you think i will like the snow? and daddy - when can we go to tremblant?

 

anyways, i hear mommy coming upstairs, so i gotta GO!

 

p.s.

I wanted to make this for you cause mommy tells me that she was getting things ready for me to come, and she missed valentines day. she also said that partly it was works fault, somewhere called barking dog - i don't know what that is, but it makes me think of our dog, sheba. anyways, i'm sorry that we missed this thing called valentinez day. mommy says that she loves you just as much as she loves me, and that must be a lot, cause she gives me kisses and hugs all day when you're away.

 

happy z day.
