I have really been appreciating this sweet boy lately and I thoroughly enjoy watching him just be a kid! He is so hilarious and I MUST jot some things down before he moves on to other types of cuteness and I forget all about them.
1. Everything happened last night. "Dad, member when we went camping last night?" "Mom, member when we saw that dinosaur movie last night?"
2. He is all about crazy faces these days. I wish I had a picture of every single one of them. For now, they are in my head and make me smile every time I think of them.
3. He is honestly the best brother to his sisters. He is Jaycie's side kick and is always up for anything she wants to do. He loves on Hazel all day long and HATES for her to be sad. He will lay next to her and give her the bink no matter how long it takes for her to calm down. I love his heart!
4. He loves water. He wastes gallons and gallons every day with multiple baths, playing in the hose, turning on the spicket out front, pretending to do dishes, etc. I have tried to tell him that water costs money and we shouldn't use so much but nothing brings him more happiness than running through some sprinklers!
5. When he watches a movie, he likes to act it out in our living room. He loves the movie 'Spirit' (about a horse) and gets out his vintage pony to ride, one of my belts as his lasso, another one of my belts for the reigns, and a cowboy hat. He rides like the wind up and down the halls. Another favorite is 'Dolphin Tale.' He asks me for a bowl of water and swims his dolphin around gently just like the trainers do in the movie.
6. He is always singing! And he has perfect pitch. He can recall almost any tune at any time. He pays a lot of attention to music wherever we are and anytime a familiar song comes on, he looks at me and says "It's my song!!"
7. He is so resourceful and creative with his play. He plays the way kids used to! He finds random objects and turns them into something pretty cool. He loves being outside and luckily our house gives him plenty of room for that.
8. He eats simply to survive. Not super picky, he just doesn't eat much.
9. A couple times each day he asks what time it is. He's not satisfied with an "I think it's almost 5" or "It's about 2." He wants to hear something like "It's 8:17." He even watches me glance at the clock so he knows if I'm telling the real time!
10. I tell him I love him so many times a day and he is always happy to hear it. Like it's brand new information. He gives me the sweetest grin and reciprocates with an 'I love you too' and usually a hug and kiss.
