Terrific Two's

Just wanted to jot down a few thoughts tonight on Tennyson, ... my "baby" (though not for MUCH longer now!)

"Tata"... you are such a dear, sweet little boy. I just LOVE this age, ... so curious, learning so much, so cuddly and so loving! Today (and about once a day for the past week) you just came running up to me and gave me a huge hug and said "I love you mommy!". At music you looked up smilingly at me, enjoying so that I was spending the time with you. And tonight you made your dad and I laugh so hard at your singing and "spinning" and dancing! The songs you were making up, about a banana that fell in the fishy water and swam to a volcano and fought a dragon! You could be such an actor my son ;)

You've said so many quirky and intelligent things lately... you were playing with a little penguin toy and said you wanted to go outside in the backyard with him. I said no, as it was too cold right now and you turned to me, and looking very quizzical and a bit disturbed, said, "Mommy, but penguins like the cold!" What could I say? :) You were quite right!
Seeing the reflection in the mirrored glass of the grocery store you said, ... "Mommy, look at the pretty picture in there of the city!"
And Disneyland made SUCH an impression on you... a few days ago you said, ... "When can we go to Disneyland again mommy? I promise I won't hit Mickey!?!?!? Today, as were driving home after dropping Xander off at school, you pipe up from the back seat. "Is Mickey asleep or awake in his castle Mommy?" I said maybe he was sleeping and you said "NO Mommy, he awake, because the sun is shining and it's a beautiful day outside!... I want to go to Disneyland Mommy, not today, but right now?!?? I have 5 moneys Mommy, can we go please???" Oh! My dear, it made me so sad to have to tell you that we couldn't go for a long time, ... I sure wish we could afford to take you again SOON!

Well my little snuggle-bug, ... mama's tired and I want to go cuddle with you. I'll write more soon!
Love, Mama
