(We had friends over for dinner, which took a l-o-n-g time to be ready. While we waited, P played Star Wars Legos on the Wii with Blake, thereby making him Blake's favorite person ever that night.)
B: Thank you for saving me, Yoda.
P: Welcome you are.

A: I think we should get your skis on tomorrow and practice going down a little hill.
B: (gasps) And... is there jumps?!
A: No, you have to get used to the feel of skiing first.
B: AWWW, MAN!

B: Mom, I heard about something called a splitboard when my alarm went off this morning. It's a snowboard that splits and turns into skis! Isn't that awesome?
A: My friend Sam is going to want to talk to you. He's a splitboarder.
B: AWESOME!

A: You know you get to go be with Peter, Kale, and Joel tomorrow.
B: And Mayomi.
A: Nope, Naomi's coming with me.
B: (jumping up and down behind me) YAY! ALL BOYS! ALL BOYS! (walking over and quietly putting one hand on my arm) But don't worry, I still love you and I like being with you too.

A: (thinking he's been brushing his teeth for a very long time) B, are you done yet? Are you ready for bed?
B: A'course not, I'm pooping!

Do I always tell you that these are my favorites? I want to meet Mr Blake someday. He's a peach. I love his tender little heart, how he communicates enthusiasm but then tells you that he loves being with you, too.
xoxo
I enjoy these SO much!
"YAY! ALL BOYS! ALL BOYS!"... Blake surely does not suppress his true feelings..Love your posts... they make me laugh.
