My love for you overflows more and more each day. You are the happiest little boy I know. I am so very proud of you. Especially how well mannered you are. I don't even have to tell you to say thank you anymore. You just do it.

You are testing me right now by not listening as well as you could be, but I know that will change and it will be something else.

All my love,

Momma

Lil'Ds book pick...

Cars and Trucks and Things That Go by Richard Scary

I found this book at the swap meet a couple of months ago. I kept trying to get Lil'D to want to read it, but he always skipped it. I finally talked him into it. We have read through the entire book once. It took us two nights. Now it's all about who can find Goldbug first. Lil'D has memorized where he is on most of the pages. Lil'D says things like:

"Goldbug is really good at hiding."

"Where is that Goldbug?"

Superbowl halftime at our house...

In the backyard...
Lil'D didn't want halftime to be over. He wore Skyanne out!! They will both sleep good tonight!

Here it is...
