He’s with the same teachers that Alex had when he was two. This is really strange. I <em>remember</em> Alex in this room, and I remember how he seemed like a big kid. I also remember thinking, <em>I can’t wait until Patrick is this old…</em> Well, that time has come.</p>\n<p>To mark the occasion, here are some Patrick observations.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>One of his favorite requests: <em>Daddy, read!</em> (He’s not quite the book fiend Alex was/is, though.) </li>\n<li>In spite of the above: He refuses to let me read him bedtime stories. It must be mama.</li>\n<li>He’s in a hoarding phase. He’ll pick up something small and carry it around <em>all day.</em> The current obsession is a pair of Playmobil fish.</li>\n<li>Favorite food: Cheese pizza. Luckily for us, Alex has also developed a taste for cheese pizza – this is a recent development. It means we now have a exhausted-end-of-week dinner option that the whole family will eat.</li>\n<li>Patrick will also eat anything that comes from Mommy or Daddy’s plate. The same food, on his own plate, is unappetizing.</li>\n<li>Similarly, he wants to do whatever his older brother is doing. The same activity, on his own, would be boring.</li>\n<li>We’ve let Patrick watch some of The Jungle Book. “Watch movie” and “Jungle Book” are now two of his clearest phrases. His favorite part is the elephant march. </li>\n<li>His stubbornness shows no signs of going away!</li>\n</ul>\n<p><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 630px; \"\n    >\n      <a\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-link\"\n    href=\"/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/72e01/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg\"\n    style=\"display: block\"\n    target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener\"\n  >\n    <span\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\"\n    style=\"padding-bottom: 75.31645569620254%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/jpeg;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\"\n  ></span>\n  <img\n        class=\"gatsby-resp-image-image\"\n        alt=\"Sidewalk Scene\"\n        title=\"Sidewalk Scene\"\n        src=\"/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/828fb/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg\"\n        srcset=\"/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/ff44c/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg 158w,\n/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/a6688/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg 315w,\n/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/828fb/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg 630w,\n/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/0ede0/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg 945w,\n/static/49ce7f2b3b36214199972ccbcc72c0f2/72e01/4770516222_5e1398b163_b.jpg 1024w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\"\n        style=\"width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;vertical-align:middle;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n      />\n  </a>\n    </span></p>","frontmatter":{"title":"Transition Time","date":"July 07, 2010","description":null}},"previous":{"fields":{"slug":"/2010/07/01/the-little-troublemaker/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"The Little Troublemaker"}},"next":{"fields":{"slug":"/2010/07/08/want-to-see-how-strong-i-am/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Want To See How Strong I Am?"}}},"pageContext":{"id":"07b1550b-2ff4-502f-9e47-920ad6e99515","previousPostId":"a4755d7e-6357-5800-a8c3-5548315de233","nextPostId":"fc21572c-c004-5a03-a37b-24f84be6ddbf"}},"staticQueryHashes":["2841359383","916993862"]}
