Things I want to remember

Time passes too quickly (and seems to pass twice as fast now that we have two kiddos). I have been slightly overwhelmed with life and have been a terrible blogger and even worse at documenting the life of my children. Miles is at such a fun age right now and says the funniest things and I need to make a point to document that. The blog will make a good place to capture those things that I can later go back and scrapbook.

Right now, Miles love to play and will entertain himself for a while with imaginative play. He loves trains and blocks and Little People and his "power tools", but his favorite thing is to run around outside and dig in the dirt.

He adores his baby sister and wants to snuggle and hold her all the time. When she fusses, he rushes over to comfort her. He is so adorably sensitive to other people's emotions.

I love that I can hold conversations with him now and that he can spontaneously show affection. There is nothing sweeter than a big huge hug accompanied by an "I Love you mama".

He also loves music and almost always wants to listen to his Bible Song CDs. It warms my heart to hear him singing bible songs and hymns and makes me smile to hear his versions of the words (as he doesn't always catch all of them).

He has no interest in potty training, but he knows when he has to go because he barricades himself behind baskets of toys in front of the fire place (or with whatever he can find if we are somewhere else) to "do his buisness" and then lets me know when he is done pooping. If you ask him if he is done before he comes out of his homemade bathroom, then he replies "No, I not. I still pooping". He calls his homemade bathroom "the lock". So he cutely looks at me as he is squatting away in front of the fireplace and says "I pooping in the lock, mommy."

I also love the way he says certain words:

-Crescent rolls = Kashi rolls

-Sidewalk= Walkside

- Banana= Blama

-Jungle Gym= Jungle Bar

-Life Cereal= Life Chex

-Corn Chex Cereal=Popcorn Life Chex

-Sidewalk Chalk=Walk Chalk

-Bubbly= Blubbly

He is also so polite and is great about saying please. It is so cute because he starts out with "Please". For example: Mommy, please I have a cracker?

I wish that I could permanently capture this time and never forget it.
