BeFOUR you know it . . .

. . . your firstborn will turn into a big (little) boy right before your eyes. I don't have the energy right now to write the birthday post my Bub deserves so for now I will just share some of my favorite things that he says these days:

"When I went to the movie theodore to see the Squeakquel with my cousins . . . " -- common story starter -- I love that he thinks that he went to a movie theodore to see a movie about a chipmunk named Theodore

"I really need to use some hand santatizer, mom."

"Is this the perfect size for a sticker? Tanks, mom." -- said almost a hundred times a day as he preps scraps of paper to send through the sticker machine Aunt Shell got him for Christmas

"Let's have a family hug!"

"This is the best Christmas EVER!" -- shouted multiple times earlier this evening as he opened birthday presents

"Let's talk about what we're going to do tomorrow, mom." -- when he visits the bathroom for the final time before bed, he likes me to sit in there with him so we can talk about our plans for the next day

"Is dat a good idea, mom?" -- I almost always say "yes"

"Is dat cazy, mom?"

"My belly is hungry for a treat." -- He's mine for sure

"I need lots and lots of hugs, mom." -- said tonight, just before bed.


Keep melting our hearts, Bub. Daddy and I love you so much that it's "cazy."
