These days...

Sawyer makes each and every day fun, memorable, entertaining, challenging and a learning experience. Here's what our little guy is up to these days:

-Relishing his preschool class where his teachers report he's "playful" everyday. They have yet to see any red-headed tendencies in class. Thank you, God.
-Singing, singing and singing (ABCs, the weather song, Where is Thumbkin, the Dora theme song, Happy Birthday (still), and Move it! (from Madagascar....loves dancing to this tune, too).
-Belting out a shrill scream when his big brother invades his space or does anything to annoy him.
-Worshiping his train table, his toy choo-choo trains, train themed books, the train at the zoo, the train at the mall, the train close to our house, etc. You get the drift!
-Cracking his brother up...he really is funny and understands that he has the power to make people laugh.
-Running independently all over the playground. I could almost bring a book and just let them have at it...almost.
-Eating "poppy-pop" cereal (Rick Krispies)
-Counting from 1-20, but varies the order depending on the day
-Choosing to not make a choice when I try to let him select his shirt to wear to school, what snack he wants, etc. This trick always worked with Jack...Sawyer just smirks at me and doesn't respond!
-Curling up with a "nack" and watching Dora, Diego or Super Why
-Starting to ride his tricycle...slowly but surely.
-Still loving his "Raffi" and his thumb, but now leaves them in the car when we go on our adventures. He gives him a kiss, puts him down and says "See ya later Raffi."
-Shooting lasers with his brother in a fun game of Buzz Lightyear. I always end up being Zurg.
-Putting on puppet shows for Jack and I. His dialogue typically consists of "Hello. How are you?"
-Still snuggling up to us at night when we sing him his lullaby (he often chimes in, too)...I hope this never ends.

Sawyer, there is no one else like you in the whole world. We love you!
