January 5

Well it is the 5th day of January and I am a little late with my idea. If only I thought about on January 1st! SO to make up for the lost 4 days I will share a few things that have happened since the beginning of the year. They may not be in exact order, but it has only been 5 days.

• While saying goodbye to daddy the first day back to school after vacation, B kind of started to whine. I was worried he was going to say he wanted to stay home. But instead said "I want a real football helmet to wear on my head". He then continued to talk (and whine) about it the whole ride into school.

• This morning he bumped his head a little and wanted to come sit with me. While sitting with me I started to hum some random song, just because, no real reason, and he started to hum with me. He then looked at me and said "We go sit in rocker in my room" heart melting, I got up and followed him to his room where he proceeded to jump on his bed full of energy, no longer wanting to rock. It was all worth it just to hear him ASK to go sit and rock.

•  His latest obsession, besides wanting a real football helmet to wear on his head, is watching T.V. I know. I know. I always thought I would super limit his exposure to just one show a day before bed, but watching him watch his favorite shows is just too sweet! He talks back and answers all of Diego and Dora's questions! And to hear him sing along to there songs is just adorable!

•  In the morning we were having fun and I was giving him "horsey" rides. When later I was folding laundry and putting it all away, he found my belt. He then wanted to wear it, which I helped him with, and then he jumped down and ran away saying "I cowboy. My rope!" swinging the end of the rope as he ran.

• On the same day, while folding yet another load of laundry, he was climbing on the bed and wanting to get thrown in the pile of clothes and tickled. He ran out of the room and then back and was up on the bed in no time (with the help of his stool he dragged out of the bathroom earlier) he then started to cough. It was at this point that I noticed he had taken a bite of his apple. I watched as he proceeded to cough/spit half his apple out, onto the bed and the pile of clean clothes. Oh well. At least most of the clothes "sprayed" were his.

• While sitting on the couch he realized my wallet was on the side table next to him. He opened it up and took out my three dollars handing it to me saying "here go", which I would happily take and then return to him. He then took out a Target gift card (which sadly only has less than $2 on it) and looked at it closely. "Buy football helmet?" was all he said.
