- how she makes up little songs and chants to sing to herself
- that she’s able to help Obiwan dress and brush his teeth
- her still, almost, baby-soft hair
- that she has sass and a strong personality….though when she uses it on me I don’t appreciate it
as muchat all. - watching her “read” to Obiwan the stories she’s memorized
- when she climbs into my bed in the morning and snuggles with me
- her drawings of whales, jellyfish, fairies, flowers, rainbows, hearts, spiders and suns with big smiley faces
Obiwan 2yrs 11mos
- how he throws himself at me in a bear hug and says “I love you mommy”
- how he’ll try to take care of us all by reminding us to drink water and feeds us fruit
- his off-key singing
- the way he says “Ymmm” when he’s eating something he likes
- his little OCD tendencies like needing to line up all his Hotwheels a particular way or re-positioning the teeth brushing cups after he’s done
- the mischievous grin on his face as he tries to negotiate for more cookies or crackers at snack time
- the way he thinks of others and saves food to share with his family and friends
