We had our first turd in the toilet this week, completely unprompted by me. I have no illusions that this will be a regular thing, but it is a milestone nonetheless.

Raffa loves to color/draw. Crayons on paper, pen on paper, or stick in the sand.

Raffa has been sensitive to certain sounds lately. Certain sounds frighten him. This past week one of those sounds that was scary was the bathroom fan, but then by yesterday he asked us to turn on the fan and he apparently, in that moment decided it was okay.

Raffa has gone through a tremendous growth spurt in the past month. Physically, he is taller and leaner. But beyond his physical growth, his language continues to explode. He speaks in up to 12 word sentences. He can sings upwards of 15 songs. He knows his ABCs and can count to 10. He can identify about half the letters in the alphabet. He is pure wonderful.
