Robert Turns 2 Years Old
March 29, 2012 By Robert.me
Today Robert celebrates his second birthday!
Both Robert and Jason had a combined family party last weekend. They will also have a combined children’s party next month when the weather is better. Today, we will have a small celebration just for Robert and give him a very special present- a Robot!
At two years old, Robert is very interested in the world around him and anxious to communicate. He likes naming things that he sees around the house, outside, or in books. He is speaking in brief descriptive sentences, and can count to ten on his own. Robert likes to imitate everything he sees his big brother Jason doing. Robert can’t wait to go to pre-school.
Robert enjoys playing with water and sand, and he usually manages to make a mess with either one. He is intrigued by pockets. His favorite show is the Backyardigans Robot Special. He also likes Super Y, which he used to call “Sup-a-Dup.”
Happy Birthday, Robert! You are our little angel.
Almost Christmas
December 22, 2011 By Robert.me
At almost one year and nine months of age, the two things Robert likes the most are Curious George and painting. He has watched the Curious George 2 movie innumerable times and also the episodes available on Netflix. His painting is very enthusiastic but usually very messy.
Robert communicates very well and sometimes makes grammatically complete sentences like “Robert did it.” (Although usually he claims someone else did it.) He is happy to tell us what he wants by naming it or saying “this” or “that”. He responds to questions with “no” or “O-KAY”.
He really likes his Christmas pajamas with a zipper and tells us to “bop it” (“zip it.”)
Robert very much admires his older brother Jason and imitates many of the things he says or does.
Robert Gets a Pumpkin

We recently went to Yorktown for pumpkin and apple picked.
Unfortunately, the place wasn’t as fun as we thought. There were one-hour lines to buy doughnuts, picks apples, and pick pumpkins. Instead of waiting 3+ hours, we went to Kmart and bought some nicer, bigger, cheaper pumpkins. Plus a bunch of toys.
Jason picked his own pumpkin and picked one for Robert.
Robert’s First Concert and Carnival Ride
September 20, 2011 By Robert.me
This Sunday Robert went to his first concert and went on his first carnival ride.
In the early afternoon, we went to Mount Kisco where TJay was performing for the Mount Kisco Sales Day. This was very interesting for us, since Robert’s Mom and Dad saw TJay play in Pleasantville only a few weeks before Robert was born. He must have recognized the music, because he listed to the show attentively for an hour and a half. (Meanwhile, Jason was asleep.)
In the late afternoon, Robert and family went to the local church carnival where Robert rode on the Merry Go Round. He was very happy with the experience and had lots of fun!
