- He eats salad. He tried it for the first time last week and we've gone through tons of ranch dressing and a few heads of lettuce since! Before he tried it he always told me that he would like salad when he got big. The implication here makes me weepy.
- He no longer wakes up AS predictably. We've started letting him *stay up late* on weekends and he then sleeps in a bit on the weekends....sometimes it's still 5:30, sometimes 7:30! He goes to bed easily (for the most part).
- He went on a field trip to the Magic House last week with his school. I wasn't able to go (because a: work and b: limited mobility!). Cole was able to tell me all about it in a way that I could picture his day!
- He put on a t-shirt last week and asked where it came from. I told him that Oma had given it to him. He asked if Oma got it for him in Heaven?
- We read "The Kissing Hand" often. Cole believes in the kissing hand. We exchange smooches on the hand at bedtime and drop off for school. He holds his palms closed to protect Mommy & Daddy's kisses as long as he remembers (usually a lot longer than Mommy remembers to protect her kissing hand!).
- He has started copying me in saying "How did you get to be so cute?!" He asks me this....I melt and tell him just because I am his Mommy.
- He requests to listen to his music on my ipod. He has a playlist consisting of some SpongeBob, Yo Gabba Gabba, Trout Fishing in America, and Bob Marley. He loves to sing along with TFIA - the Window.
- Tonight when we said our prayers he reminded me to pray for Japan. He told me that the earth wiggled there and people's houses broke. I had talked to him about this a few days ago but I was brought to tears by how much his little heart and mind soaked this up.
- Parent-Teacher Conferences this afternoon: Cole is young for the class he is in now and we will send him to preschool for three years to give him a good foundation for his education. My heart swelled when his teacher talked about his good hugs and sweet nature.
I am so proud of this boy and I cannot wait to see him become a big brother. I can't imagine growing more love since at least weekly I can feel my chest puff up and eyes tear up with pride and love. My chest might explode with two kids to adore!
