I love it when....

• I say "where's your nose?" and you stick your finger inside it
• You say shoes "soos"
• Your binky brings you sheer joy, and how you prefer the dark blue one
• You blow kisses to the grocery store clerk when we leave
• You spend more time yelling at Charlie to leave the kitchen when you eat, then you do eating
• That painful screech comes out of your mouth when you see a bird
• You hug everyone, and all your stuffed animals too
• You clap after I sing, the only applause I'll ever get!
• You bite the tips off of your crayons and then come to me to scrape your tongue
• You celebrate at the sight of your toothbrush
• You run to the mirror when we call you handsome
• I rub your back at bedtime and you tuck both arms tightly under your belly
• You race at full speed down the hall when daddy and I pick you up from school
• I realize you've been recording what I say and do, and now playing it back for me
• You spit on flowers when I say to smell them
• You growl at dogs
• I can hear you and daddy laughing in the other room
• You lay in your crib and talk to yourself before anyone comes in
• You grab my hand to walk
• You dance and somehow get us dancing, to "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" on the fridge DJ
• You group hug me and daddy
