The Littlest

Can I tell you---I am absolutely in love with this little boy. His personality is coming out full throttle! He has this way of cutting his eyes with the most beautiful smile and then he crunches himself down and puts his hands together and sways like he's in love with YOU, the person he's looking at. He's TOTALLY flirting. I relish in him. I have taught him all his body parts, he calls his elbow a 'bow bow' but he knows where it is. His fingers are "ger gers" but he knows where they are. But when I tell him to point to his knees, he sometimes gets confused (50/50) and points to his nose. Knees/nose, it's all the same :).

He loves to climb. I know all kids do but he REALLY loves to climb. No fear, wants to get as high as he can and then says, "WEEEEE". He stands at the top of the stairs (of the second floor going down) and SHAKES the gate to try to get it down, and if he does, he will just tumble down (again). But he's not afraid. When you look at him, when he's caught in the act of getting up on the couch and standing up leaning forward, he just smiles and clearly you can tell, he's loving it. Your heart is on the floor and your racing to save him but he's having a blast. He will stand on anything, it doesn't matter how tall it is, or how short it is. If it's off the floor, it's worth his effort. He will stand on a drumstick laying on the ground or he will stand on a box, a chair, his TowMater car, anything. We laugh because it doesn't have to be tall so when he stands on something like 1/2 inch off the ground and THAT makes him happy? We laugh. Maybe he will be a pilot. I don't know.

I just love him. I love all my boys of course, of course, but I just LOVE him. I think he has helped to save me on some level. But more than that, he's just a sweet pea.
