Dear Sawyer,
At dinner tonight, we were talking about what you want to be when you grow up. JieJie's response: "I want to be a teacher." Your response: "I want to be a duck!"
Love,
Mom

The Big Time
Dear Sawyer,
There is a Huggies Pull-Ups commercial jingle that goes, "I'm a big kid now!" The kids in the commercial sing it when they go on the potty and you have been singing it all the time throughout the day, I guess whenever you are feeling especially like a big kid. It's so cute!
Love,
Mom

Lots of Love
Dear Sawyer,
Sometimes, you just randomly come up to me and say, "I really love you, Mama." And that always makes me the happiest mama in the world :-)

Sawyer's Song
Dear Sawyer,
You were playing in the living room and I heard you singing this song to yourself: "My name is Sawyer! I love playing with my toys! And I love hugging my mamaaaaa!" Hahaha! I love it!

Direct Hit
Dear Sawyer,
You rocked potty training! Now, you always ask to go to the bathroom when you need to go and you stay dry when we go out, during naps and all through the night. Woo! Of course, there is still the occasional potty mishap here and there, like the one we had this afternoon. We went for a walk around the neighborhood and when we came home, I put you on the potty. You didn't sit far enough back, though, so your penis was pushed up against the front of the potty seat and pointing upward. As such, when you peed, the stream of pee shot up into the air and all over your face. Oh man, I will never forget your poor scrunched-up face as your pee sprayed all over your eyes, nose and forehead!
Love,
Mom

Hidden Figure
Dear Sawyer,
I just checked on you while you were napping and your shirt looked a little weird. Why did it look weird? Because you had stuffed your Sophie the Giraffe toy underneath and fallen asleep with it there. Haha!

Slip and Slide
Dear Sawyer,
You are a pretty cautious little boy. You don't like amusement park rides or even the swings at the playground. Before this summer, you wouldn't even go down the slides at the playground but now you do enjoy the shorter ones. And today, we found out that you enjoy the really tall ones, too!
We spent the afternoon at a playground in Central Park and on one side was a tall pyramid-like structure where you could climb up to the top and slide down a long slide to get to the bottom. You and GuhGaw were playing near the pyramid and JieJie was playing in the sprinklers at the other side of the playground. I was watching her and then when I turned back to look at you, you were flying off the slide! You had climbed up to the top of the pyramid and gone down the very tall slide! And it was a little wet from kids who had played in the sprinklers and then gone down the slide, so that coupled with the height of the slide compounded with the fact that you are on the light side meant that you picked up quite a bit of speed on your way down! When I looked over at you, you flew straight off the bottom of the slide and landed a good foot away! Luckily, you landed on sand so it was a soft surface but I gasped pretty loudly and ran over to you, unsure of what your reaction would be. It was touch-and-go for a few seconds there--your face was a little "Oh crap, what just happened?!"--but GuhGaw was laughing gleefully at your airborne adventure and that made you smile and laugh. Whew! When I got to you, you told me, "I go bump bump bump bump down the slide! I land in the sand!" I'm so glad you weren't traumatized . . . though I noticed that you didn't attempt to go down the slide again, haha!

Mom

Hold It
Dear Sawyer,
I gotta say, I crack up every time you have to go poop because you always stand up, put your hand on your butt and say, "I have to poop!" Then you run all the way to the bathroom with your hand covering your butt until you get to the toilet. Is the poop going to just drop out of your butt if you don't do that? Hahaha! It's so cute!
Love,
Mom
