Dear Cole,

You are a magnet… you have us all wrapped around you. The caregivers at daycare just adore you and the other kids seem to migrate to you and follow you around. Zoe's friend Charlotte is besotted with you and smothers you with kisses and hugs when she sees you. Your friend Sophie always asks her mom if she'll see you that day. Will Cole be there?

Is it the white hair?
Is it your joyful personality?
Is it because kids can learn really naughty behaviour from you?

You are going to be that kid that tries to climb higher than he should. Jump off things that you shouldn't. Break things that are meant to last… Rules and boundaries seem to mean nothing to you. You already FLING yourself off the bed and couch. You usually land ok, but one time I was lucky and managed to grab your leg before you did a face plant off the bed. I have reflexes like a superhero.

You love big trucks. You call them "buck". Anytime you see them, you point them out.
You are going through your Uh OH! phase. It's adorable. Of course, you'll throw your cereal on the floor and say UH OH! You'll drop a toy in the car and say UH OH. You'll drink the last of your beer and say UH OH!

Cookie Monster is now a favourite character and you love saying "Cookie!". Also, you like the word "dirty" … you are always pointing out your dirty feet. Or your dirty tray. Or the dirty floor (um, grab a mop, buddy).

You are very affectionate and will give hugs and kisses whenever asked.

You're a sweetheart, an energy, a mover and a shaker.

We love you Cole Bear,
Mommy Bear
