A letter from June 28th, 2016

Dear FutureGus, Well, you have reached "language explosion" stage of your life. Going from a repertoire of about twenty words to about fifty over the course of a week. Your new favorite word include saying: No Up Down Stinky More (previously only signed in ASL) Kitty Chicken And many others. I've coined a few new names for you, let me try them out. DangerGus and AdventurGus. DangerGus is a super secret spy, working overseas. He is super short and doesn't know his ABC's. Able to charm you with a single look. Totally unable to read a book. Heeeee's DangerGus! Something like that. A theme song for DangerGus. Writing to say that we are about to embark on a family vacation this week. One day includes a trip on a vessel to spot whales. I really hope it goes well with you. Never taken you on anything like this before. Take care of yourself. Love you. Dad
