Dear Sawyer,
This morning, you were cuddling with MuiMui when you turned to me and said, "Before Mackenzie was born, I hated my life. Now that she's born, I love my life!"
Well, that is a little extreme (and, ahem, untrue) about you hating your pre-MuiMui life but I'm glad you're so happy now!
Love,
Mom

Yummy Disgusting
Dear Sawyer,
One of my favorite Netflix shows is "Ugly Delicious." You were watching it with me a couple days ago and asked what the title meant. I said it referred to food that tastes delicious but maybe isn't that pretty. Today, JieJie and I made pumpkin cream cheese muffins with a streusel topping and as soon as you took a bite of one, you ran into the kitchen and exclaimed, "It is yummy disgusting!" Wait, what?! I was confused until I realized you meant the muffin was "ugly delicious." Hahaha! Thank you for the, um, compliment?
Love,
Mom

Up and Away
Dear Sawyer,
I was going over sight-word flash cards with you this afternoon when we got to the word "up." I asked you to spell it and you said, "U P." I acted shocked and asked, "Did you just say 'You pee?' I didn't pee, you peed!" You thought this was hilarious and laughed for several minutes straight while saying, "You pee! You pee!" And now you will always remember how to spell the word up!
Love,
Mom

Dino Flavor
Dear Sawyer,
Me: Sawyer, what flavor birthday cake do you want me to make for you this year?
You: Dinosaur!
Me: Sure, we can decorate the cake with dinosaurs. But what flavor do you want it to be? Chocolate? Coconut? Strawberry?
You: Dinosaur!
Love,
Mom

Play By Play
Dear Sawyer,
I overheard you talking to yourself while you were washing your hands in the bathroom today and you were straight up narrating everything that you were doing: "I squeeze soap on my hands and then I rub my hands to make bubbles. Then I turn on the faucet using my wrist and wash away all the bubbles. I turn the faucet off and walk over to my towel to dry my hands, but not too hard." When you came out of the bathroom and saw me smiling at you, you got a sheepish grin on your face but continued your narration: "And then I give my mommy a big hug."
I asked you who you were telling your story to and you said, "I was telling it to my brain." I love it!
Love,
Mom

Milking It
Dear Sawyer,
You had a Zoom call with your teacher and class this morning and your teacher began teaching a new unit about babies. She knows that you have a baby sister so she asked you, "What do babies need?" You answered loudly and proudly, "Boobie milk!" How much do I love that you shouted the word "boobie" at your Catholic school teacher? Haha!
Love,
Mom
