At a little over two and a half years old my favorite hobby is collecting things.  I can frequently be found with a Ziplock baggie full of treasures (mini action figures, marbles, old hotel room keys, LED flashlight key chains, you name it).  If one of something is good, then five is better, and I’m never afraid to ask for more.

I’m still shy in large gatherings, and I can be heard saying “there’s too many people here” when I enter a new place.  After five minutes of clinging to Mommy and Daddy’s legs, though, I’m less tentative and ready to take off and engage with new people and things.  I’m very proud of being bigger than baby Lena, and being able to do things she can’t yet.  Speaking of which, I’m officially sleeping in the toddler bed of my new “big boy” room!  Yes, I frequently demand that Daddy “sit in chair” until I fall asleep each night, but it’s still major progress and I haven’t once expressed a desire to go back to my crib.
