my little guy...

I love the way you line everything up...your animals, your cars, your dominos
I love your long hair, even if everyone thinks you are a girl
I love that I catch you singing to yourself (moon moon, old mcdonald, dora)
I love the way you dip your cucumbers in raspberry vinagrette and crunch them
I love that you randomly tell us "I love Momma....I love Daddy"
I love that you have a dysfunctional relationship with Maxx. I can see we will have problems when you have a brother or sister!
I love dressing you in new fall clothes
I love that you have an enormous vocabulary and you are constantly using it :)
I love that you say please, thank you, and excuse me
I love that you ask to paint and color

Because you sing Beck "2 turntables and a microphone" and adapt it for the situtation
Because your eyes are still gorgeous
Because you don't like to be dirty
Because you are starting to pretend
Because you don't want anything to do with Halloween (just like Mommy and Christmas!)
Because you stay up late with us on the weekends
Because you want Mommy to nap with you (mmmm...naps!)
Because you pick a new stuffed animal to dote on every couple of days
Because you want to wear "elephant shirt" every day

You love Grandma
You love to wash all of your tub animals when you take a bath
You love Broccoli and Chicken Fettucini Alfredo
You still adore and prefer your Daddy
You know your colors
You call us guys (hey guys!)
You have an incredible sense of humor
You beg to be tickled
You have such a kind heart
You make my heart melt
I love you so much that I sometimes don't know how to deal with the intense emotions.

You are a joy, my little pumpkin butt...
