Two Years 10 Months

I thought it would be too confusing and sad to tell you it was Michael's birthday on the 18th, becuase nobody loves birthday parties as much as you! So I didn't say anything. But then in the car, you said "Mama, I need to buy my Michael a balloon to send to the sky. He's having a big play date today with all his friends!" So I said "Well, today is his birthday" and you said "I know! He's going to blow out his candles today. That's why he told me to buy him a balloon". So of course, I cried happy tears. We talk about Michael every day. He's in every song I sing to you at night. I hope you continue to have a relationship spiritually with our awesome beloved Michael.

You've been having your first sleep over play dates with Tutu. The first two times, dada and I came straight home and went right to bed! Some party animals we are!

You LOVE helping dada. Organize tools, load wood, driving diggers. He is so lucky to have a little buddy like you!

Your favorite songs at the moment are Same. Old Love and Hit. the Road Jack

I finished teaching and found you eating a cookie and you said 'Mama, I'm a LUCKY boy!"

We went to the annual wood workers guild show and you were so well behaved. Dada was a sponser this year, and when they said his name to thank him and clap, you looked over at him with googley love eyes and clapped loudly and proudly. It was so sweet.

You woke up from a nap and said "I was snoozin' and dweeming about gwama wama!"
On a facetime chat you said to Granma Lama "I will fit dat tow twuck sataday gwama wama". (I just love your little accent!)
We watched the new years fireworks from the top of our lot. You said "Michael is in the fireworks. He told me to pwug my ears". After a beautiful perfect firework, you gasped and whispered "That one was my favorite!"

You held up a piece of wood and said "You smell dat? Dat's seuuuuugi" (Sugi).

You were asking for a brother and sister. I explained that a baby would grow in my belly and then there would be a baby living in the house with us. You said "No, I like your belly empty. I don't wanna baby in my house. I just want a brother and sister". Hmmm....You didn't do very well with our company who had a baby. You would glare at her when she got near and dramatically move your chair/toy/food to a different spot with a huff! I think you like having ALL the attention! Now you don't want a brother and sister after all this company!
