these are ten of the things we love about you:
1. you aren't quite the stellar sleeper you were in your younger days, but we can never turn down your requests for a pre-nap or bedtime "hug kiss" and always giggle at the "excuse me mom, my light turned green!" announcement when it's time to get up
2. you are genuinely delighted by so many things [christmas lights were a real treat this year]
3. when you pull on our hands to get us to tickle you under your chin
4. your surprising success rate when talking to google and convincing it to play your favorite songs
5. the way you refer to colors by the name of their coordinating sesame street character [green is trash; red is elmo; blue is cookie; and yellow is big bird]
6. watching you pretend play [especially talking with your winnie the pooh friends and fighting the bad guys with your zooms]
7. your laughter and excellent repertoire of silly faces
8. you take great joy in filling the sesame street treat bags with "surprises" for people you love
9. listening to you sing "acchaeus", 'have patience', and quoting almost all of 'the many adventures of winnie the pooh'
10. you continue to impress us with your moves and are currently perfecting some fortnite dances like dance monkey and "itsa" [aka the rick dance]
