signs of a big boy



signs that i am a big boy:
-i walked down the set of steps in front of our house all by myself!
-i can drink out of a glass without spilling it all over my face
-i run SUPER fast, can stomp my feet and kick a ball
-i will point at my bed when i am tired, even if my mom is planning to sing me an extra song because she loves when i'm sleepy in her arms
-i read hard bound books with paper pages - and will sit through stories that have more than one sentence on each page
-i listen to my mama and papa when they tell me to put something back where i found it, or close a cupboard door that i shouldn't have opened, or to take my feet off the table.
-i know how to lock myself in the bathroom so that i can clean the toilet with the toilet brush - or sniff & sniff the sweet-smelling soap that meg gave me for christmas
-i will say "no" if i don't want to go to bed - whether i'm asked in english or in lao.
-i have a favorite shirt and pair of jeans (i like my jeans sooo much that sometimes i like to sleep with them like a blanky)
-i LOVED the sugary candy and cupcakes at my cousin, lussi's birthday party - just like all big KIDS do! (much to my parent's dismay)
