slugs and snails and puppy dog tails

That's what little boys are made of.

AND they're made of "nasty" kisses (kisses where right before you kiss your Mama, you stick your tongue out and slime her with it! Those are what we call "nasty" Kisses.) Only mommy gets those! I say, "Eeewwwww! Gross Conrad. Yuck!" When you give them. But deep down, My sweet boy, I love that you think you're so silly and clever to slime me just right before you kiss me. You're such a sly fox. 
I love how you roar like a lion, race your cars on the ground in such seriousness, and jump up and down in your car seat with such excitement when a fire truck drives past when we're driving. You chase birds with great intent of catching them and bringing them home as your new pet. I cherish the boy in you who slays dragons with empty wrapping paper rolls. I love that about you! I can only imagine how much joy it would bring my heart to see both of my boys wrestling and taking care of each other-
IF we have another boy! 
It would be OK by me.
 Today, I wore more of my hand-me-downs (Thank you Sofia!) I got to photograph a sweet baby boy today (which is why I put myself together and didn't show up without make up and in yoga pants as per the usual mommy-uniform!) I spent the evening with friends celebrating my dear friend (Dotty's) birthday. 
Today was a good day. (i didn't have to use my AK.)

Psalm 107:1   (Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So)

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for  his steadfast love endures forever!

  8. Kimberlea, you're funny! ;)

    Rachael, it's an Ice Cube song.

    Dustin knows ALL of the lyrics to this song and quotes it regularly. It makes me smile. I think he got it from the movie Office Space? Otherwise, he doesn't listen to much hard core gangasta' rap, but knows this whole song.

  12. Little Boys are made of all those things...and lots of wonderfulness. (is that a word?) I think sweet boys are the best, and they definitely have their mamas' hearts. Your little one sounds precious and full of life. :)

    & you look fabulous.
