Bittersweet - that's my word of the day.
Griffin is so stinkin' cute right now - he chatters away in this babble only he can understand - and I occasionally figure out a word here and there, which he emphatically says "yah!" to. Today, we had a nice conversation over a late lunch that consisted of honey roasted Peanut Butter and grape jelly sandwiches on whole wheat bread (doesn't the whole wheat bread redeem me?) He was munching away, shaking his head yes and no, and calling "Bob-oh!" which is his version of "Cozmo".
I actually got a video of it, I'll have to post it later. Why can't they stay at this cute stage? I know it will be gone in a flash, and we'll be back to civil disobedience mode soon enough. But, if I could freeze this moment I would...
Hudson is a at a great stage too. All of a sudden he is writing up a storm - and I love all the inventive spelling. He has a few words he knows, and he also has a "word book" we made of all the words he wants to know how to spell - we write them in there for him to refer too. We get great letters on a daily basis, and his schoolwork comes home with translation. I love the fact he is trying to express himself independently. That feeling of motherly pride just wells up behind my eyes and in my throat - my baby is on his way to becoming a reader. I can't wait - I have so much I want to share with him.
We are also waiting for 2 teeth to come out - they are so wobbly, it's time for the sting and doorknob trick. I've even appealed to his greedy side and told him if they come out by Dad's birthday (this Sunday) I will give him 10 bucks for his Nintendo fund... you should have seen his eyes - a dollar is miraculous, but 10 sent him over the edge! I am hoping they come out soon - the adult teeth have already come through behind and are pushing the baby teeth all over the place. Any tips on getting the baby teeth out, I would definitely appreciate it!
I'll add photos later...
