Real Huggies

Dear Sawyer,

Cute things you do now:

-Sometimes your hands are dirty or my hands are dirty when you want a hug, so I give you an "air hug." That's not always good enough for you, though, so after we have washed our hands, you often hold out your arms toward me ask, "Huggie? Real huggie?" Of course!

-When you take off your sandals, you take one off, carefully push the Velcro strap back down and put it on the shoe rack. Then you take the other sandal off, push the strap down on that one and set it next to the first sandal. You are so neat and organized!

-You like to make silly faces at me, especially when you are sitting on the potty and I'm waiting for you to go. When you eventually go, you shout excitedly, "I pee on the toyyy-let!"

-I don't know what it is, but there's something about the way you run that is just the cutest thing ever! Maybe it's how you pump your arms or slightly tip your head side-to-side as you run. I do especially love how when you run, you often shout, "Blaaaazing speed!"

-You "read" books aloud by narrating what you see in the pictures and repeating what you remember from the story from when I have read it to you. It's so sweet to hear you reciting stories this way.

-When I tuck you in at night, you grab my arm or wrap your arms around my neck and say to me softly, "Don't go yet."

Love,
Mom
