The little things

I tell myself every day that I must, MUST, start writing down the things that Buddance is saying, and I haven't started. Well, that changes: NOW.

- J or I will often sing to Tata in the car when he gets upset, or we'll talk to him about things we are doing, or what we see out the window to help calm him down if he is crying. The other day during a short car trip, in which Tata was just fine, Buddance starts talking. "Thomas, look out window, see car." "Thomas, Matthew have monkey in hand." "Thomas likes to play with toys." And then, he follows up these wonderful sentences by saying "Matthew is talking to Thomas so Thomas won't cry." The sweetness; it blows me away!

- When Buddance wants to know about something, or doesn't know the answer to a question that is asked he will respond with "Help me find out."

- We finished bath time and as I was drying off my boy, he leans over, wrapped his little arms around my neck and told me "Momma is a good momma!" I LOVE THAT KID.

- Buddance is constantly trying to console Tata when they are in the car and on a long ride north to see family over the weekend, Tata started to get a little loud and whiny. Bud looks over at Tata and announces "Don't cry Thomas, it's okay. Thomas, I love you." AGAIN. Could it get any sweeter? No. Not at all.
