Being Called Mom: We love our child

Okay so if you know us well, you know that we love our child. Before I became a mom, I always knew I would love my child, but you don't realize how much you are actually going to love your child until you actually have that child. I was lucky enough to have Tucker for 9 months to myself while he was cooking away which is where I first realized how much I loved this child. Then when he was born, I loved him even more. The Mr. and myself were pillow talking the other night and we were talking about how we love "T" more than anything we ever thought possible besides for each other. Every day I love him more and more, which I couldn't even think would be possible because we love him so much. Well the reason I thought of this post was to be the mom that talks all about her child. So beware that this post will be ALL ABOUT "T."

As I put "T" to bed every night we do the normal night night to everything. The past few nights he has literally been saying night night to everything. He says "Night NIght Choo Choo... Night NIght Toys.... NIght NIght cup... Night Night Woody.... NIght Night Daddy.... Night NIght Mike.... NIght NIght Mommy..." this goes on for about ten minutes or so until he has said night to everything in site and somethings not in site. After we do the night night to everything, "T" then gives kisses to me, the Mr., Mike, Sulley, and then me again. I then start to leave the room and he then says "water" or "Juice." I tell him goodnight and he then says "Toys" "Movie." I proceed to tell him goodnight again. This little thing goes on for a few minutes and then I finally can leave the room. As I leave the room he is silent. Well silent until I close the door and then he starts to gab away to his Mike & Sulley that he sleeps with. He will do this for 45 minutes to an hour. He does this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. It is the CUTEST thing ever. I love hearing him have his little conversation with his stuffed Mike & Sulley.. I will tell you again, we love our child.

Another thing that puts a smile on our face (and most other peoples faces) is when we are anywhere around people. "T" gets kind of shy, but not shy enough to not say "Hi" to every single person. If the person will not acknowledge his "Hi," he will proceed to continue saying "Hi" until that person says it back. This sometimes may annoy people, but I think it is the cutest thing ever. I mean why wouldn't you say "Hi" to our adorable child.

"T" also loves to "help" clean. Sometimes this can be frustrating to me because I am a little OCD when it comes to cleaning, but then I realize that "T" is just being a nice boy and wanting to help his mommy.. Well since he was a baby I have sang the clean up song to him. (You know, the one from Barney... Clean Up Clean Up, Everybody Everywhere, Clean up Clean up, Everybody do your share.) Well "T" loves to sing this song now. Sometimes when I initially ask him to clean up his stuff he will pretend not to hear me. I then will start singing the clean up song and he thinks it is the best thing ever. He knows the tune to the song and a few of the words so he sings along the best he can. It makes clean up time that much better. The best part of it all is that sometimes he will realize that he has just dumped every single one of his toys on the ground and that he has no more room to play, so he will start singing the tune and will actually put things away. A little boy after his mother's heart.

Well, that is enough "T" stories for tonight, but just as another reminder of how much we love our little guy, I will tell you one more time.... WE LOVE OUR CHILD! Now here are some adorable pictures of him.
