My favs

Dear Parker,

This has got to be quick because I'm tired and it's only Wednesday, but I wanted to jot down some of my favorite things about you right now.

*You love to play rhyming games at dinner.  You will randomly start with "What rhymes with...??  And off we go!  You are good at rhyming and will rhyme with real words or made up words.  It feels pretty smart to me because you seem to know to put the beginning sounds on the rhyming part - including the blends like sh etc.

*You are currently calling wedgies, "Woodgies"  It's hilarious.

*You call spaghetti strap style tank tops "handle shirts."

*Tonight you asked to watch "that video with the blue handles."  Turns out you meant the youtube clip of Sutton Foster performing Anything Goes.  It's a rehearsal clip.  She's wearing a blue tank top.  ;)

*You sat and looked at your Mom's Wizard of Oz book for a really long time tonight.

*You saw a sock monkey in Meijer that you said you wanted.  I said maybe you could ask for it for Christmas.  Then you said, "but Mommy, that's too much."  I love that you are worried about asking for too much!

*You love dancing to all kinds of music.  Right now, you love dancing to Christmas music.  I love that.

*The other night we drove around looking at Christmas lights.  You have this little whistle and you blew it whenever you say some.  I was laughing pretty hard.

*You had a mild obsession with Christmas lights.  You love them so much that we bought some to put up outside.  It's not going too well.  Maybe tomorrow it will get done.

There is so much more, but I have to go to bed.  I love you so much.  You are no longer and baby or a toddler.  You are just a small person.  It's amazing.  I am beyond excited about Christmas.  I can't wait!

I love you, bits.
Love,
Mommy
