Heart Breaker(s)

Mom: Matthew, you look so handsome today; it melts my heart. I need to take your picture.

A few seconds later.

Mom: Matthew, are you going to marry me when you get big?

Matthew: Mom! I'm going to marry Delaney Lewis.
You know that you have so much love for your child, when you consider the colors of the lunch plates in order to please your son's heart. Yesterday, I was serving after-school snacks or maybe it was lunch, I don't remember. Anyway, Matthew ALWAYS chooses the purple bowl for breakfast. Or if we are not having oatmeal, he chooses a pink plate for his toast and apple. If pink is unavailable, yellow is the next favorite. And then blue and then orange. These are very random facts about Matthew, but they are oh-so important to him. Back to yesterday's snack/lunch time, the pink plate was unavailable, so I was looking to see which next favorite was available. Yellow met the mark.

Our Davey. Not enough kisses of his delicious cheeks and chins could satisfy or soothe my soul. He's just loveable and kissable and snuggly!

Today after grocery shopping, we came home to get ready for naptime. I brought up some bags and let David inside. Then, I proceeded to run back down stairs and get the rest of the groceries. Upon entry of our home, I noticed red objects all over the carpet. David had opened one of the two cartons of strawberries and started taking bites out of them. As soon as he saw me, he threw them to the ground and ran to his room with the biggest one he had found in his mouth. He started eating it as fast as he could. Then, when I came into his room and said, "David, it's naptime," he took one small bite and then, stuffed the entire strawberry--green stem part and ALL--into his mouth. It was chewed and swallowed in a matter of seconds.

David is our bruiser, through and through.
