Mushy Mondays

Berry Baby

I love it when you...

rest your head against my cheek when you're tired

shriek with excitement when your Dad comes home

sit up immediately after I lay you down in bed and give me your goofy grin (ok, actually this frustrates the crap out of me, but you're too cute doing it and I'm never going to win, so I will just have to love it)

muck around in your crib until you get so tired that you basically pass out

I'm thankful...

for your chubby cheeks and legs and happy smile

that you have made huge improvements in the crying department

that you were born (because let's be honest, for a while there I was not so thankful for this)

Berry Boy

I love the way...

you are so great with younger kids - this also makes you a fabulous big brother

you say "concreek" (instead of concrete) and "Pirates of the Commudian" (instead of Caribbean)

tell me that you are no longer afraid of bees, even though I know that you are

you sleep on your back with one leg crossed over the opposite knee

You almost made me snort coffee up my nose when you...

were "reading" the Bible and you said "and then Jesus turned 4 and they gave him presents - one was gold, one was plastic..."

I'm thankful...

for your great imagination

for the way you care about your little brother

that you love spending time "working" with your Dad and that you want to do/be everything your Dad does/is (Dr Dobson would be proud)

Berry Guy

I love...

that you play games with Berry Boy such as "sleepysaurus" which involves you being able to lay down, and "asteroid" which involves you kicking balls at Berry Boy while he is wrapped in a thermarest (you are the most creative Dad I know)

that you let Berry Boy "help" you work on the Jeep and the "concreek"

that you are a good leader and organizer - you always have plenty of neat ideas

that you do things for me, like hanging a brand new front door (I love it - it looks amazing)

when you come home and say "hey Precious"

I'm thankful...

that you are my husband

that you provide for us in a job you don't really like doing, but you do it diligently and with integrity
