Another layout for October AMM kit.

Up until last week, we'd never put you on a merry-go-round but I always thought you would absolutely love it. What kid doesn't love a carousel?

Apparently: You.

When you first saw it, you were excited about the horses and wanted to get on them with me. But once it started turning around, you immediately broke down. You kept climbing on Daddy or me; crying hysterically. We couldn't ask them to stop the ride, so we held on tight to make sure you knew we had you covered and would not let anything bad happen to you.

I know that, one day, you will love carousels and wonder why you were crying, but for now, it's not something you want to try and I completely respect that. At some point, I might encourage you to give it another try, but I will never force you.

David, I want you to know that we will always be here for you, to cover you, hold you, love you, and protect you from anything and everything that gets in the way of your happiness.

Journaling Reads:
Towards the end of every MyGym class, they give a surprise to everyone. Each week the surprise is something different. Sometimes it’s a ball, or a cone, or a slinky, or a ring. Once you have your surprise, they act out a lot of different things to do with it. They put it on their head and then ask, “Is this a hat?”

A few seconds later, they go, “Noooo, it’s not a hat.”

“Is this a shoe?”

“Noooo, not a shoe.”

And on and on. You always participate in the games but never say anything. I never minded it because you have so much fun during surprise time even without the words. Last week, when you came home from the class, you were out in the backyard, playing with the bike pump. You drove it like a truck and then said, “Truck!” so I said. “Is that a truck?”

And you replied, “Noooo, no truck.” I couldn’t believe what I heard.

You always manage to surprise me, David. Just when I think you’re not paying any attention or understanding anything, you show me that you were listening all along.
