If we go a day without laughing at something Fuller did, then he must not be here. If a day passes and we haven’t said, “Wow, Fuller, that’s amazing!” then he must have been off running our errands while we sat at home eating bon bons. Then again, that would be amazing.

He is constantly taking everyday objects and making them into something they are not. For days he would bring a cardboard tube in the car with us, saying it was his “driving thing” (aka the steering wheel). If he is running some imaginary scenario in his head while you are in his vicinity, don’t be surprised if he stops suddenly to press some imaginary button or make you wait until the doors of some imaginary lair have opened.

The other day Fuller told me how to spell his name. No prompting or stuttering, he just told me “F-U-L-L-E-R, Fuller!” He keeps wanting me to spell words, or he reads the letters to words and I tell him what word they are. We have been working on sight words, his most recent triumph being the word “Stop.”

Fuller’s imagination grows exponentially everyday, making him not just a cool kid but a fun child development project to watch. It makes getting ready for another kid even more fun, because we get to watch it all unfold again, only from the perspective of a second child. Can’t wait!
