Ball!

The last week has been a little bit exhausting. Talent had RSV and just didn't feel good at all. We had nights of sleeping in awkward positions to keep him elevated so he could breathe better. He was grumpy and just wasn't himself. It was a long few days. He's thankfully on the mend.

Today he's been playing and running around saying all kinds of things. At breakfast there was a small basketball sitting on the table and he pointed his little finger at it and said, "Ball!" To which I said "yay!!!!" And he beamed! He's been pointing at balls and saying ball all day now. So I guess that's his new word. He has been trying to say things but with his stubbornness it's just slow going. Lately he has been saying "gink" for drink, "giggy" for piggy (his favorite stuffed toy), and "gon" for dragon (his other favorite stuffed toy)....along with his normal words- no, momma, yay, da, gee gee, red red (our dog), and uh oh. He's learning. And while some people don't think he's learning fast enough, he's getting there and his Momma is SO proud!

Make my day!

Nothing in this world makes my day quite like when my almost two year old waves me over and plants a big kiss right on my lips.

This morning Talent is in his room watching Super Why so I can get ready because we have a full day ahead of us. I heard him holler "Mom" so I jumped up and crossed the hall to see what was wrong. There was a cartoon spider on the show he was watching and it concerned him. I calmed him down and told him it was okay and he waved me over. I asked if he wanted a kiss and he grinned his ornery little grin and wave again. I ran in there and knelt down in front of his chair and he put his arm around my neck and laid a big wet one right on my lips. Now he keeps hollering for me to come back for more. There is nothin better in this world than being his Momma and getting all if this sweet love.
