The Big Top 10...


Here is a list of the top 10 things I love about Dylan today:
1- I love how Dylan giggles and laughs till he's about ready to bust a gut. Usually he's laughing at himself for a joke or something HE did that he thinks is funny.
2- I love how Dylan gets excited about the simplest things, like moving up on his chart or spending the day with Mom.
3- I love how, when Dylan is sleepy, he cuddles up to me and wants me to hold him...He only does this when he's tired.
4- I love how Dylan mixes up words, ie: spinachios (pistachios), churky (jerky), or O'rock Obama (Barack Obama)
5- I love how Dylan is so gentle with kids who are younger or smaller than him. He plays with his 2-year-old cousin, Shaylee, and lets her pounce on him.
6- I love how, every morning when I drop Dylan off to go to work, he stands at the top of the stairs and blows me kisses as I turn around to walk out the door. Sometimes he waits till I'm halfway out the door and then stops me by saying, "Wait...You forgot your hugs!"
7- I love reading books with Dylan every night. That's our "wind-down" time when we can just relax and enjoy the moment with no distractions.
8- I love how, when we're in the grocery store or out and about, Dylan stops people just to chit chat. He doesn't care who you are...He just wants to talk!
9- I love Dylan's big brown puppy-dog eyes!
10- I secretly love that Dylan's a "mama's boy." I wish he'd always think I'm his hero!

Frickin...

The last 2 days as I've asked Dylan what he's done all day while I've been at work he's replied, "Watched Frickin' Dora!" He says, "That's what we call it 'cuz me and Chase don't like it but we have to give Shaylee a turn to watch what she wants to watch...So that means it's frickin'!"
