Right at this moment...

Oh, boy! I adore this little four-and-a-half year old boy. He constantly tests my patience, but I love him so much. He keeps us laughing all the time and I just want to bottle him up and not forget anything he does. I know I will look back and think that this time went by so fast.

Here are some cute things our big C says and loves lately:
1-He loves for us to read him stories. Loves them. We go to the library every week and check out a bundle of books. He is starting to read and it's been so fun. Often we are in the car and he'll read words that I didn't know he knew!
2-He says, "At the Beginning and at the BeEnd"
3-The other day he said to me, "Mom, you are the mosquito that I love" ?? what? we just laughed!
4-He loves babysitters and says, "Who is going to babysitter us, Mom?"
5-He is getting more brave with the food we offer him. I'll tell him he's had it before and he liked it. He'll make a face that would make you think he hates it and then finish and say, "oh, I do remember this!"
6-He is a busy boy! He loves to ride his bike.
7-He is very sentimental and gives us hugs and kisses all the time.
8-Speaking of kisses-he wants to kiss my lips all the time! Mark says they are only for him and so now it's a challenge! What a funny kid.
9-He loves his cousin Tyann. She came into town the other day and as soon as he saw her, he put his hands on his hips and said, "Ty, I've been thinking about marrying you!" What a little cutie.
10-He calls Carl's Jr. "Carla's Jr. or Carlos Jr."
What a fun, happy, busy, independent, naughty, loveable little boy!
