I hope I never forget

...all the silly things like

• singing and dancing naked in front of the mirror after bath
• wearing winter boots in the summer
• and rain boots in the sum
• "Mommy, turn around, turn around, dance!"
• "No, I do it"
• "I need James Taylor"
• "Just a little bit more" (milk, crackers, whatever)
• Elmo walks
• "I need game"
• "I need car panties" which are of course little boy underpants
• Fierce hugs and kisses (She loves rough, as I like to say. If a 2 year old hasn't knocked you down when you've picked him/up from school, you're missing out.)
• naming our favorite things from the day
• listening to her talk herself to sleep
• "Hear that noise?"
• "Mommy, you like oatmeal (or whatever)?" Then hearing the inflection in her voice as she is astounded and says, "You do?!"
• "Mommy, you need chocolate candy?" Uh, yes is always the answer to that. Although it's a little more funny than just that, because she asks me that after I visit the ladies room. Ha ha! Don't we all wish we still got chocolate candy for that?
