My Loves: March

Stu:

BYU's loss in the sweet sixteen = hours of discussion with friends ["That game should have been ours!"] Don't worry, hun...you'll be able to see Jimmer's ridiculous skills another day. *fingers crossed*

Bear:

building and re-building your lego pinewood derby car to make it perfect - and you were so proud of your creation (but daddy was probably more proud of the 'most creative car' award...good work to both of you boys!)

making your mom all teary-eyed after writing the most darling letter to your brother-in-utero

Boo:

celebrating your green blankie's birthday every other day with a stuffed animal party and camping trip to the living room
(This fabled camping idea sounds so peachy, doesn't it? Maybe someday your parents will take you on a real camping trip! On second thought, mommy loves not camping.)

non-stop chatting about your enormous stuffed octopus...
Boo: Oct-y is so old that he's lost some of his brain! Oct-y is so old that he can't even read anymore. Oct-y is so old...
Me (half-listening while doing laundry): That sounds pretty old.
Boo: Yeah, he's 26!!!

obsessed with your new stuffed bird, Sweet Tweet (I'm noticing a trend here with the stuffed animals!)

FK:

flirting shamlessly with your big brother's friend (who is 8, btw!) following him around:
"Isaac, I'm twoooo!"
"Yook at my pwitty dwess, Isaac."
"Duuuuuude!"

trying on your shiny new helmet (pink, of course)
FK: "Yay...it fits!" *pause* "Mum, can I have a bike now?"

opportunity to rescue my baby girl from getting paved into the street as you ran in front of construction vehicles outside our house...little stinker!

Me: It's sleepy time!
FK: "Yeah, it's sweepy time!" *in my exact melodic intonation*
Me: Did you say it's sweepy time or sLeepy time??
FK: "No, it's sweepy time...swwweepy...sWeepy...Momma, hewp me wif my mouff!"
