The things he says...

"Chocolate milk is my NEEEEEW favorite!"

"Where's my kiss?" - when he wants a kiss or hug (which he calls a "love", sounds like WUV, like the rest of my family)

"I wish I had a __________" - the way he asks for toys/treats he knows he can't have, and then he gets them

"Can I way witchu, mama?" (can I lay with you) - I can never, ever say no. such a sucker.

Are you gonna be a good boy, Sawyer? "Yes, see, I'm a good boy!" (flashes those pearly whites)

and the things he mispronounces are pretty darn cute - you'll never catch me correcting him.
Hewicopter = Helicopter
bubbows = Bubbles
Scuba Driver = scuba diver
"Cheezus!" = "Jesus" (Mimicking mommy...oops, guess I'd better chill on that reaction)

I read a lot of really cheesy mommy blogs.

I also read a lot of interesting, poignant and inspiring articles across the web. 

I don't post them on Facebook for fear that people will find out I'm super sentimental. 

But I don't want to lose them. 

So, here's a list of my favorites lately:

"It’s in not worrying so much about the laundry and instead just letting that go and being thankful for a family to do laundry for."

"Let her eat all of the Halloween candy in one sitting. When she's puking Kit-Kats, ask her if she wants another one."

"4. Don’t pull strings. Some kids get a rude awakening when they get a job and realize that the rules actually do apply to them. They have to come on time and do what the boss wants. And, (gasp!) part of the job they don’t even like. If you don’t like your child’s teacher, science partner, position on the soccer field or placement of the bus stop, avoid the temptation to make a stink or pull strings until he gets his preference. You are robbing your child of the chance to make the best of a difficult situation. Dealing with less-than-ideal circumstance is something she will have to do most of her adult life. If children never learn to handle it, you’re setting them up for failure."

December Dailies: Day 31!!

I took so few photos on NYE this year - so unlike me!
We went to Uncle Jasons house to party down with all of your cousins and friends. Pretty awesome time. We are so thankful for them.
Here's you, operating your new remote control helicopter like a boss. The box said it is for ages 13+. Clearly they haven't met you.
