My favorite things....
My favorite things.... 1. The way you kock on your door in the morning and say Mom-my? and then Dad-dy? When we open it you search for Gabbie and call her name as she licks you up and down then you chase her saying," tickle". You always wake up happy and ready for a new day!!
2. The way you say," Daddy working or hunting" with your arms in the air.
3. The you ask for exactly what you want; milk, juice, snack, purple popsicle, chicken and fries, to go outside or to see the fishes/turtles.
4. The way you say," Oh, my goodness" at the right moment.
5. The way you can name everyone in our family photos.
6.The way you count to 10. You can completely count it or I can say," What comes after 5 and you know its 6".
7. The way you say the abc's, esp. when you say "jklmnop". You can alos pick out what comes after a certain letter.
8. The way you sing songs and do the gestures. One evening while riding the Rhino I mentioned the sunset and you made the gesture like we do with the Isty bitsy spider.
9. Oh, how we love to watch you dance, esp. to the Wiggles and wags the dog. You put your hands on your hips and bend your knees to shake your booty. Then you tell everyone to "get up" so they can join in.
10. The way you turn your head to look at us and give a sly grin when you are attempting smething you know is wrong.
11. The way you say " Hold you Mommy" and snuggle in tight next to me.
12. The way I can so easily console you when your hurt. This has to be the most powerful magic in the world.
13. The way my heart melts when your playing with your Daddy and neither of you know I am watching
14.The way you tuck your right arm in and swing it back and forth when you excited and sometimes dance around in a tight circle.
15. How funny it is that you Hate having your hair cut, your hair dried or brushed. You absolutely throw a screaming fit.
16. The way you catch your breath and say "O.K" in the middle of sobbing.
17. You are a very picky eater!!!! You generally eat an egg, banana, and toast or cheerios in the morning. Then you mainly eat shaved turkey/ham, ckn and fries, mashed potatoes, CHEESE, fruit, mac and cheese, bread,dried fruit, crackers or CHEETOS. Lunch is you least fav. meal.
18. You take your medicine by yourself and you know that you get two "dinosaurs" (gummy vitamins) a day. You like to remind me of this.
19. The way you pat our shoulder while we're holding you and your head is down.
20. Your amazing "little chuckle" that seems to wash away the cares of the outside world, stops time and warms our hearts.

You my angel are the light of our lives and the reason we wake to each beautiful new morning! We love you!!
