He is so big and sweet. Extra sweet to me, lately.
He comes around for a lot more hugs and kisses. He wants to sit by me. He wants to snuggle with me. He wants to play games with me. He wants to be held by me.
I am happy to oblige.
Tonight, he signed his name 18 times. And let me know he was running low on "tickers,"
which reminded me of earlier this week when we were searching his room for just the right item for him to bring for Show and Share at school. This week he was to bring in something beginning with the letter Q. Not an easy task. He picked up his Trio blocks which we call snapping blocks here at our house, and said, "These napping blocks won't work, they start with the letter N."
And then I remembered how he was flying around an empty parking lot on his new scooter two nights ago. In a bad parenting moment, we were letting the kids ride without enough daylight and without helmets. His little wheel caught the edge of a concrete parking divider and he face planted right into the cement. The next morning he was recounting what happened. "Last night when we cootered, I fell down and hurt my head and chin."
And then I remembered how he had accompanied me to pick up some test results. The office was just about to close for the day and had already turned out the lights in the waiting room. As we walked in, he grabbed my hand and stood close to my legs while we waited.
As we left, still hand in hand, he looked up at me, his gigantic blue eyes shining, and said, "I liked that doctor's office! It was pooky!"

He's so adorable. Makes me sad I don't get to see you guys very often.
Oh my gosh. He is so, so, so cute. I can't believe how big and grown up he is. :( I miss you all so much!
He may not be able to say his 's' (and really when he is so cute without them, who cares!) but at least he holds his pencil correctly!!
