Asher says or does so many funny and cute things each day. I really need to get better at writing them down!
When he is sad and I tell him something to cheer him up he will say, “that will feel me better.” The other day he forgot his toy at a friends house and after we went to get it he told me, “this will feel me better!’ I LOVE it!
When we went to retrieve the toy I leaned back in my seat and unbuckled him and let him go up to the front door. He got about half-way to the door, turned around and looked at me in the driver seat with my window down and said, “I’ll go get it mom, you wait here.” I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry – when did my baby get so old?!
He still pronounces his middle name “Joseph” with the s and ph reversed so it sounds like Jophes. It will be a sad day when he starts to pronounce it correctly. ;)
He LOVES to tell (and receive) secrets. Instead of putting his mouth up to our ear to whisper he puts his ear up to our ear, but still whispers. It’s precious.
He is very into imaginative play these days. He likes to have cars and trucks or his stuffed animals watch cartoons with him and/or eat meals with him. The other day while I was making lunch I heard him talking to all his animal friends about what his mommy was making them to eat for lunch. They all sat lined up on the table next to him and needed plates and bowls… I did draw the line at utensils telling him they just ate out of the bowls like Daisy. Thankfully he was okay with that.
He has officially learned the art of stalling at bedtime. He will think of anything to keep us in the room longer. Questions, stories, another hug etc. Today when I went into his room at nap time to tell him it was time to sleep (instead of continuing to talk…) he said, “mommy, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time…” When did he get so big?!
He likes to “read” books all by his self these days. When he doesn’t know the words he will just kind of mutter for each page, but then when he gets to the last page he will almost yell, “THE END!”
Asher loves M&M’s but he calls them “M’s the M’s” and it cracks me up.
When you ask Asher a question that he needs to think about or doesn’t know the answer to, he will (I promise, I’m not making any of this up): Put his finger on his lip, say, “hmmmm let me think” and then give the answer. He acts like a 70 year old man! It’s absolutely hilarious.
Today he skipped his afternoon nap so we took a late afternoon trip to Target during “nap time” – he was very sleepy and as he started to yawn in the cart he said, “Oh I’m ‘zosted’ Mommy!” (exhausted). :)
I know I am biased, but I just love spending my days with the funniest, smartest, and sweetest little boy in the world. We will go from a tantrum one minute to a hilarious conversation the next. Moments when he comes up to me and says, “Mommy let’s hug!” are enough to bring tears to my eyes. In the words of Asher, taking care of our two boys each day does make me (us) ‘zosted’ but I (we) wouldn’t trade a minute for the world!
