Enjoying a very happy day with my little guy today. And he’s been napping for 2.5 (two and half) hours now!!! After the low duration and poor quality of the naps he’s been taking over the past couple of weeks, it merits exclamation points, believe me.
(Although just so you know, O Gods of the Many and Mutable Toddler Moods, if you really want to restore balance to the Universe, you owe us at least another week solid of this happy and long nappingness.)
Ben is so super cool now I hardly know where to begin. He’s been speaking in complete sentences for at least a month now. He tells us such things as, “I fast!” “I funny!” (which is always self-fulfilling) and “I got a truck!” Trucks, and particularly fire trucks, are his singular passion right now. He’s running, he’s experimenting with toilets and their paper, he’s coloring with abandon, he even sings a little sometimes. I am so smitten. And he’s becoming quite smitten with his little sister lately, too.
He really wants to pick her up, but she’s a hefty one, and he still needs help for now.
So completely smitten.
