Super Sizemores: Party of 4: 2.5, going on 7.

Seriously. This kid takes my breathe away. Every. Day!

Work is IN-SANE right now. I almost can’t breathe…but this little guy…oh my. Bud, you make everything better. You give me purpose, comic relief..you bring me back to Earth when I forget that advertising is just...um…advertising. After 80 hrs/week, there isn't an ounce of me that's willing to apologize for locking us up in the suburbs and not going anywhere. Home is where the heart is, always.

What a rad dude.

You’re funny – inflection and timing are your strong suits… who knew? You were born with this uncanny ability to deliver a joke with the perfect timing, inflection, and response. You can thank your daddy later.

You’re compassionate. You don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, you want everyone to be happy and content.

You’re self-aware. You get it and understand when you’re in trouble. It’s funny, you can totally call it when you’re about to go to timeout – sometimes you put yourself there before we have a chance to. Doesn’t mean you don’t act up, but you correct yourself when you do. Awesome…you can find me napping in the other room. KThanksBye.

Favorites lately:

1. POTTY TRAINED!!! You’re like 90% there. It’s sad, I want to take a pic of every epic defecation. It’s disgusting but so pride-inducing I almost can’t help but instagram it. Good God. Your favorite reward after doing the deed? Washing your hands. Really, dude? Really? Your 2^nd fav reward? Skittles and/or fruit snacks. You are your mothers son. Also, bacon and peeing seem to work well for you...

2. YOUR VOCABULARY! It’s insane. We can have an actual conversation, about anything, and you get it. A few of your favorites:

- observing the random cars/trucks/tractors/school busses on the road on our way to school

- watching for traffic lights and instructing your driver how to proceed (whew!)

- telling us what you learned at school – each week is themed

3. YOU CAN WRITE YOUR NAME! What? You’re 2.5. are 2.5’s supposed to know how to write their names? Trip out

4. YOU LOVE YOUR UNCLE CAM! Oh man, do you. It's weird, it's like you two speak the same foreign language and just get each other. It's the best thing ever. You think he's the COOLEST dude ever and the feeling is so clearly mutual. He loves you to pieces and would do anything for you. Yay for family and awesome uncles.

5. You have naturally adopted the concept of control, and you like it. Weird, no clue why this concept is so appealing (oh hey, mirror). On occasion, we’ll put you down for a nap or bedtime, and you don’t love the idea of sleeping where we want you to. You're into sleeping, just on your own terms. In these cases, you’ll pass out anywhere BUT where you know you’re supposed to sleep. Your favorites lately are the kitchen and the doorway of your bedroom. Our philosophy? Let the boy sleep...

5. You just cannot get enough of your cousins. You love them to pieces. We are so thankful to live so close to our friends and family. They are your favorite – watching you grow up with my best friends kiddos is an absolute dream come true.
