why I love him so daggone much...

There are a million different reasons why I love my buggy, but here area a few...

• because little things excite him...a rock, a stick, a pine cone, etc.
• because he's a great eater.  I can feed him pretty much anything and he'll eat it.  He'll even eat stuff I won't touch, like sushi.  blek!
• because whatever he does, it's done at full-steam ahead and no fear.  Sometimes that's not so good, but he has fun!
• because he runs to me when I pick him up from school, throws his arms around me and gives the best hug.
• because he can build almost anything with his Legos.
• because he talks and talks and talks and talks.
• because he loves school and learning.
• because he still gives me hugs and kisses in front of his friends.
• because he loves for me to come have lunch with him at school.
• because he thinks me making him rice topped with sugar and milk is the best treat ever.
• because he takes his punishments in stride, for the most part.  Losing TV privileges today wasn't easy, but he understood and dealt with it.
• because he yelled "mom, I hurt my nuts!" at the park as all the kids simultaneously fell silent, like they knew something funny and inappropriate was going to come out of his mouth. 
• because he signs "I love you" to me every morning when I drop him off for school.
• because he cuddles with me every morning, even if it's just for a minute, before he gets up and going.
• because he's helped me learn so much about myself.
• because he is just like his daddy...as crazy as that can sometimes drive me, they are quite a pair.
• because he's an animal lover with a HUGE heart.
• because he has a goofy fashion sense... he's trying to bring back the glove on one hand look.  
• because he is my silly, smart, lovable little guy.  As stubborn and ornery as he can be, he's my little man and really a great kid.  I love him!

Thanks for letting me gush!
