Finger Paint

One year a very long time ago Eli got you finger paint for your birthday. Mommy tucked it away and recently we unearthed it. It's been so much fun. You love to get your hands all goopy .... Willa not so much.

Miso Soup

You both LOVE miso soup. Milo you make me take out the tofu and "leaves." But you like the "circles" AKA scallions. Willa eats it all.

Your Friends

While Willa has "friends" you have real friends. The ones you choose to be with outside of mommy forcing you.

I would say your good friends this year include: Marin (duh!), Gracie, Paul, Jaxyn, Millen ("I love Millen, mommy," you told me just yesterday.), Kiera, and some of the time—your sister Willa.

There are also kids at school you always talk about—Brooks, Rajin, Javi, Jacob, and Lily H.

Soccer

This blog post is for mommy to read next year when she thinks about signing you up for soccer again. DON'T DO IT MOMMY. Milo, you hated it. Well, you liked the uniform and the ice cream afterwards. But none of the in between stuff. Not the drills, or running around, or playing, or kicking the ball, or being teammates with your friends. None of it. It's hard for mommy to understand why you hated it so much. You were on a team with your friends playing against more friends. But you truly hated it. Tears, tantrums, threats. It sucked. Stick with swimming.

Noooooooo Willllllllaaaaaaa

Might be the most annoying thing I've ever heard. Overheard about 600 times a day. Everything she touches you want. Everything is yours.

The Beat Down

You have officially started beating up your brother. When he takes something from you—you grab his shirt, his hair and you yell. I try not to laugh but it's pretty funny. He doesn't fight back. Just cries.
