I am in awe of the brain my little Monkey has. The things he says, the way he plays with his toys, the way he interacts with friends and family, it all amazes me.
Today was particularly hilarious for his "Monkey-isms". I was already impressed when he showed me his painted American flag with presidential silhouettes, and he could readily identify George Washington and Abe Lincoln. SO cute.
In the car, I told him that he was the best little boy I knew. His response?
"I'm not a boy anymore, I'm a MAN."
As we drove closer to home, he saw the usual cows out for their daily pasture time.
"Hi cows!! Enjoy your grass! Eat lots and make good milk!"
And finally tonight as I was reading stories and singing songs to him and Small Fry. I sang "Hush Little Baby", a favorite of mine. At the end of the song, the Monkey told me...
"Mommy, you don't need to buy us all that stuff"
"Why?" I asked
"Because we're already the best little boys in the town. And if you buy us the glass (the looking glass), we won't break it!"
I think that I fall more in love with my boys as each day passes.
