Pants Mix-Up

Dear Sawyer,

Impressive things about you at the moment:

1) You love blueberries so much that you can easily polish off an entire pint of them in one sitting.

2) You can fit into your baby sister's pants! After you got dressed this afternoon, you went up to play in the attic. When I came up to say hi, I noticed that your pants were strangely short on you--the hems were a few inches above your ankles. I was so confused and asked you if you'd had a sudden growth spurt while playing in the attic. Then it occurred to me to check the pants size--and they were size 2T! The last time I was putting laundry away, I must have accidentally put a pair of MuiMui's pants in your drawer. They look similar to your pants so you slipped them on today and they fit fine! They were short on you but the waist part wasn't even tight! Oh my gosh, you are so slim! And we couldn't stop laughing when we realized you were wearing MuiMui's pants! Hahaha!

Love,

Mom

Best of the Best

Dear Sawyer,

This morning, you said to me, "Mama, you are my best friend. I have other best friends but you are the BEST of my best friends." Awww, thank you, sweetie!

Love,

Mom

Connecticut Energy

Dear Sawyer,

Instead of "hummus," you say "Bahamas." As in, "Can I  have some Bahamas with my carrot sticks?" You also pronounce "kinetic energy" as "Connecticut energy." I love it!

Love,

Mom

Walking to School

Dear Sawyer,

Daddy had to go on a business trip yesterday, which meant that I had to take you and JieJie to school today. I don't drive and your school is 1.7 miles away from our house. It was 40 degrees this morning and we could have taken an Uber but I asked you and your sister to try walking to school and the two of you did an awesome job! You mentioned that your legs were already tired when we were just a few blocks away from our house but you were able to keep up with me (and I walk really fast) and we made it to school 13 minutes before the doors opened, so you even had time to play on the playground for a little bit. I was worried that you might be too cold during the long walk (it took us exactly 37 minutes) but you said you didn't feel cold at all. Thank you for being such a good sport!

Love,

Mom

One Handsome Head

Dear Sawyer,

Cute things you have said recently:

You: Mama, do I look cuter with my hood on or off?

Me: I think you look cuter with it off.

You: Me, too, because you see more of my handsome head!

You: Mama, can you come help me with my math homework? It's just one question and then you can go do whatever you want.

Words you still adorably say wrong: tooken (instead of took), buy-ded (instead of bought)

Love,

Mom

Hairy Situation

Dear Sawyer,

After your shower, I cleaned your ears and there was the tiniest little hair on the end of the Q-tip. I told you, "There was a hair in your ear." You replied, "There was a bunny in my ear? Haha! Get it? Hair? Hare?" Sawyer's got jokes!

Love,

Mom

Good Humor

Dear Sawyer,

You are really into telling knock-knock jokes right now and this is how most of them go:

-Knock knock! Who's there? Pepperoni. Pepperoni who? Pepperoni pizza!

-Knock knock! Who's there? Wall. Wall who? Wallpaper!

-Knock knock! Who's there? Soup who? Soup put me on. I'm good!

Ummmmm, hahahaha? I may not get your humor but I do love how you burst into a fit of giggles every time you deliver the punchline!

Love,

Mom
