A update

Countdown to the u/s continues.  We are waiting with great- and I do mean GREAT- anticipation.

In other news, A is everything amazing.  He is still telling us that he is not "big", he's a " big brother".  He's also been telling us that "Pa" (E's dad) is his dad.  He did finally tell her that he would "share."  I think it's interesting that he's managed to fill in the pieces to his own story, and grandpa is absolutely flattered.  Everybody wins (especially since E still gets to "share" him!)  Today he told my sister to "be careful, and don't cut yourself, K!" as she sliced him some apple.  He also read a book to his very brand new cousin Z.

I love how he "reads" now.  He loves to spell - stringing random letters together- and then tell us what that spells.  For example, "xkrpa spells airplane!"  He has moved on from loving pink, to loving purple. He loves to cook, and in giving up his pacificers this week he chose a battery power mixer and cookie cutter set as his prize. He also loves his tools and garbage trucks, oh and the Little People Bus is still one of his very favorite- going on two years now! He's also proud that he can make us feel "happy" or "better" by giving us hugs and telling us he loves us. He's the sweetest.

I could go on and on.  I could tell you that the teachers at his pre-school (it's a parent participation program) were absolutely surprised at his drawing ability this week as well as his ability to retain information (raisins come from grapes!).  I do go on and on, I guess.  I'm going to be one of those annoying moms who thinks her children are perfect... (he won't sing the alphabet- STILL, he is painfully shy, and is terrible at catching a ball.  See, I can see the truth!)

He's the most amazing thing in my life, and since I actually slept a bit last night, I truly enjoyed my day with him.  It felt really good to be loving my job again.  It is, by far, the best one I've ever had.
