Sophie is 29 months
Dearest Sophie,
You turned 29 mths today.
You’ve grown much over the past month since we’ve been in NZ.
You’ve settled well in daycare and have become familiar with the routine of going to daycare. Your teachers say that you love your books and are always getting them to read to you. You are totally enjoying the space and freedom to do different things everyday! Once you even got to play with spaghetti, just for the fun of it.
Friends mean a lot to you and you care for them a lot. You enjoy their company and if we gave you the choice, you’d love to hang around your friends all the time! You are very sensitive to what your friends think of you even at a young age. You are a very perceptive little one. But that also means that you are very sensitive to them and I love how you are so gentle with Naomi and I can really see that you treasure her as your friend.
You are starting to express your feelings and tell us about your day. Today you said that you felt really bad about making your friend sad because you accidently cut up her toy. You didn’t say so many words but you did tell us the story and said you felt really bad.
You are finally learning your alphabets and Mummy has discovered that you are a very tactile learner! Looking at worksheets with letter N on it has no effect on you but give you a large cut up letter N to carry around all day long and it worked!
You are a really special girl and Mummy and Daddy love watching you grow. It’s so fun being with you.
Love
Mummy
