I have to write these things down. My mom says I must write them down or some day I'll forget. So all these cute, amazing, crazy, naughty, sweet moments from Lucas are my forget-me-nots. Like the flower.
I've had a harder time staying positive lately so these moments do my heart good. Lucas understands so much more than I even can give him credit for. It's amazing to see him grow into this little person.
Wednesday I was cutting him a little piece of cherry pie and he was excited. I sat him on the kitchen counter and told him that Grandma and Grandpa had sent the pie home for us on Christmas. He grinned at me and yelled out, "Thank you grandma grandpa!" It made me laugh. Then he told me, "Daddy's truck broken. Mama's car fixed." That's his new favorite phrase.
Tonight I was reading to Lucas. I love reading to him. We were reading "Busy Penguins" which, of course, is the sequel to "Busy Bunnies". In the book there are photographs of the penguins doing things and below the picture it says things like "Penguins jumping" or "penguins sliding". One of them says "penguins pooping" with a nice candid photo. This is Lucas and Megan's favorite page. Have you ever seen a penguin poop? Look it up. It's pretty gross! Tonight Lucas wanted to act out the phrases. One said, "penguins cleaning", and it showed a picture of a penguin grooming itself. I was trying to figure out how to explain this to Lucas when he got up, ran to the kitchen and started rustling around. He runs back out with a broom and starts sweeping the carpet. CLEANING. Such a smart boy making those connections.
Of course, he'll be scarred for life from the penguin pooping picture. (:
I love these For Get Me Not Moments we get with your little one and with you.. It's these moments I try to remember the little moments in my heart because in all reality they are the big ones!
