December 8, 2014

Oh my sweet boy, such time I've lost the last few months. The end of summer swallowed me up, and I don't know what happened to the month of August, September, October, or November!

What little bits of memories can I restore to this page?

- November brought us your first circus. Which you enjoyed immensely.

- You've quit napping in the afternoons, unless I lay down with you and nap alongside you. Not that I'm complaining mind you, but some days, it would be nice if you'd just go to sleep my little tired boy.

- you adore balls. and babies. Which means that if anybody has a ball or a baby doll, it is liable to wind up in your bed somehow!

- And technology. You love to play the wii (no longer can the girls pacify you by giving you a TV remote turned sidewise; you know the difference and will protest--loudly!). As for my kindle, you navigate your way through games with impressive skill. And you do not take kindly to being told "no" and having your time limited. That one you're just going to have to get over.

- Every discussion, you want your point of view added. Every burst of laughter, you join in. You're cuddly and sweet and just a little bit spoiled (too many girls to one little boy).

- Your language skills have exploded. So many words and sentences.
  • "hep me" (help me)
  • "I lub you"
  • "I want..." (fill in the blank. My favorite being late at night when you wake up crying and I go in and hold you and talk to you and ask you what you want and you sigh back, "I want you.")

You are an exceptionally good hugger little man. And you also know how to steal hearts by giving out hugs very freely. I'm glad. I like my snuggly little boy.

We've been watching a lot of world cup lately.

One of your favorite games right now is the: "feed me raisins game."

The process goes something like this. You go to the cupboard where you know the raisins are. You pull out the container and bring it to the nearest susceptible adult with a grunt and a "please." They feed you a few. You vocalize "a u" (thank you) and after shoving the raisins in your mouth, carefully put the container back in the cupboard. Only to pull it back out again in two minutes and repeat the whole process.

You're cute little boy.
