Tonight, as we were tucking him into bed, he was extra cute.
Every night our routine is like this: Seth brushes his teeth, and then I read him 3 stories, and then we all do a “double slow dance” as he calls it, and then I tuck him into bed and we sing a song we [...]

And wow, it’s been MONTHS since I’ve written in here. As always, I’m a bit busy but will try to share some of the things that have been happening. I’ve jotted down a few Grayson stories over the past few months, and have some new pictures too.
First, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nana Louie! We [...]

This morning Grayson and I were walking downstairs together. We still hold hands, despite the fact that he can quite easily bound down the stairs himself.
I said, “Are you going to play with Brooklyn today?”
G: “Umm…. well, I think I am but I don’t know, am I, Mama?”
Me: “Well, that’s up to you. Do you [...]

After work, we drove around a little to look at Christmas [...]

Grayson’s babysitter, Kristi, has a 7-year-old son named Quinten. Grayson and Quinten get along very well. Recently, Q has been looking through his stuff to find things to give to Grayson. This week we ended up with 3 Batman shirts, a Superman costume, and a Batman cape. We haven’t gotten Grayson to try anything else [...]

I was reading stories to him last night, and this book about tractors said something like “a skid steer loader’s bucket has a flat bottom.”
Grayson got a really funny look and said, “Mama, tractors don’t have bottoms!”
I explained it wasn’t a bottom like OUR bottoms, but demonstrated like this: “See, this is the top of [...]
