S-top

Today he was telling me how T-O-P spells top. "Tuh ah puh. Top."

I asked what sound s made.

"Ssssssss"

I asked what S-T-O-P spelled.

He pondered it for a minute. "Ssss top. STOP! It spells stop."

Then we got to a stop sign. He went ballistic. "S-T-O-P spells stop. That says stop. Stop, mama!"

Yeah. He's awesome.

Grateful Heart

I have been participating in the 30 days of a grateful heart challenge posed by the wonderful, Jote. Today is day 7.

Today, the gratitude is for my little man. He is so laid back and patient. We spent most of the day at Ryanne's school or in a meeting and he never once complained. He kept himself entertained, off in a corner. He came to me for hugs and lovin' when he needed it. When I missed him, I needed only say his name and he was there beside me with a huge grin on his face. Most people didn't even realize he was there.

It blows my mind how relaxed he can be, how self-sufficient. I love knowing that if I need to go someplace, he can usually go with me and I can get done what I need to get done. One of the other moms calls him her super volunteer. He is helpful when we allow him to be and loves to be allowed.

We have been at the holiday shoppe where all of the other siblings that have come in have wandered around and messed with stuff and asked to buy things yet he sits quietly and plays.

Toe trimming

Trying to get rid of the talons, but he doesn't want to sit up for it.
