Dear Sawyer,
Cute mispronounced word of the day: peepohopamous (hippopotamus)
Cute gesture of the day: After we were done eating dinner, you pushed your chair against mine, wiggled close to me, looked up at me with your big round eyes and said, "Let's snuggle our noses." Then you rubbed your nose against mine! And as if that wasn't adorable enough on its own, you followed it up with smiling at me and saying, "Now let's hug." We hugged and then you said, "Let's kiss." You gave me a sweet little kiss on the cheek and I just about lost it. I can't even with all your cuteness! :-D
Love,
Your seriously smitten mom

Talk It Out
Dear Sawyer,
Last night, you pulled me over to the couch, climbed onto it, crossed your legs together and said, "Mama, let's talk together."
Okay!
Love,
Mom

Mr. Clean
Dear Sawyer,
You had been in your room by yourself for a little while tonight when you called out for me to come to you. When I did, you gestured around the room with your arm and proudly said, "Look! I clean up my whole floor!" Your room is often a complete disaster area but you had picked up all of your toys, puzzles and books and put them in your toy boxes and on your toy shelf. I hadn't asked you to clean up your room but you had decided to do it on your own and there wasn't a single thing left laying on the floor. Thank you for being such a good little boy! I was so proud of you for cleaning up your room by yourself and the huge beaming grin on your face was proof that you were proud of yourself, too!
Love,
Mom

Hug Time
Dear Sawyer,
Cute thing you said last night: We had some free time so I asked you what you wanted to do. You thought about it for a second and replied, "Hug." And so we did! And then I melted into puddle onto the floor :-P
Not-so-cute-but-kind-of-cute thing you did last night: Daddy and I were talking and you did not like this. I was paying attention to him and not to you and you weren't having it, so you interrupted and yelled, "Stop talking! Only talk for me!" (You meant to say, "Only talk to me.") You wouldn't even let Daddy hold my hand when we were all laying in bed; you pulled his hand out of mine and said to me, "I want to hold you hand!" Whoa, possessive much?
Love,
Mom

Talk JieJie
Dear Sawyer,
My cute Sawyer anecdote of the day: JieJie was upset about something and crying in her room. You found me in the bathroom and told me that JieJie was crying. I told you to go and talk to her and ask her if she was okay. You left and returned after a minute to report to me, "I talk JieJie okay. I talk JieJie don't cry pwease."
I'm really going to be sad the day you stop talking your cute toddler talk! (And JieJie was okay. She was just a little cranky and sad because it was time to go to bed.)
Love,
Mom

Teddy Bear Ice Cream
Dear Sawyer,
I know that I am breaking a record for how many times I have posted on your blog in a single month but you keep doing so many cute things! You have always loved the puzzles in your Moms & Tots class and yesterday, you sat down next to the puzzle shelf and completed every single puzzle. There were about two dozen different puzzles of animals and numbers and other various objects and you very patiently removed the pieces from a puzzle, finished the puzzle, placed it back on the shelf, took down the next puzzle and so forth. You literally did every puzzle in the classroom and while that in and of itself amazed me (how many 2-year-olds have that kind of attention span for one activity?), I especially enjoyed the fact that after you completed each puzzle, you stretched both of your arms up to the sky to do a victory pump!
Later on during snack time, you looked really cute eating your cheese crackers, so I took out my camera to immortalize the moment. When you noticed me taking a picture of you, you immediately moved your chair to the corner of the table, rearranged your snack and juice box to straighten them up and posed with this silly, cheesy smile on your face. I'm so glad you like posing for pictures because I definitely like taking pictures of you!
This morning, you gave me another awww moment when you pushed several toy boxes and chairs together, set a bunch of toys around you and asked me, "You want to try i ceam in my i ceam shop?" You had to repeat yourself a few times before I realized that you were asking me to try ice cream in your ice cream shop, haha. Once I knew what you were saying, I said I would love some ice cream and you handed me a teddy bear and said it was my ice cream. Then you picked up another teddy bear, said it was your ice cream and pretended to lick it. Awww!
Love,
Mom

Dinosaur Bones
Dear Sawyer,
You visited the American Museum of Natural History for the first time this past weekend and you loved it! You like dinosaurs, so seeing an entire floor full of towering dinosaur fossils was, as you put it, "So cool!" You kept running up to different fossils with a big smile on your face and shouting, "So cool!" And even though I am a grown-up who has been to the AMNH many times before, I was still in awe of just how large the dinosaurs were. Can you imagine what it would have been like to come face-to-face (or, more accurately, human face-to-dinosaur toenail) with one of those magnificent creatures when they were still living? It always amazes me that such gigantic animals once roamed the earth and it was really sweet watching you discover just how gigantic they were.
It was also sweet to hear you tell PoiPoi about your trip to the museum: "I went to the dinosaur 'seum! I saw dinosaur bones! And fish bones!" PoiPoi asked you if I took any pictures of you and you said, "Uh-huh. I say 'Cheese!'" Hahaha, so cute!
Love,
Mom
